About Artist
Nasser Soumi was born in Palestine in 1948. He studied art at the National School of Fine Arts in Damascus from 1971 to 1977 and continued his studies at the National School of Fine Arts in Paris from 1980 to 1982. Soumi is a painter and an installation artist. His work is an assembling of “eclectic and handmade objects.” His use of the different tones of the color indigo evokes the Mediterranean Sea and impressions of navigation and nomadic movement toward a faraway land.
Since 1976, Soumi has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Palestine, France, and many cities across the world. His work has been shown at the Tokyo Museum (Japan); the Madrid National Museum (Spain); the Tunis Museum of Modern Art (Tunisia); the Baghdad National Museum (Iraq); and Institut du monde arabe, the French National Fund for Contemporary Art, and the Bibliothèque nationale (France). Soumi has received many awards for his work, including first prize at the Cairo Biennial (Egypt, 1996).
