Sahar Zuhair draws inspiration from her
Iraqi memory as her raw material to shed
light on the events of her daily life in the
Diaspora. Influenced by ancient printing
techniques in Mesopotamia, her passion lies
in exploring human faces and their profound impact as they reflect different human
conditions and express the reality of contemporary life. Her artistic journey between
drawing, design and printmaking gave her
the ability to move easily in the production
of artwork, free from traditional boundaries. Through the dynamic interplay of
media, bold colors, and experimental techniques, she expresses the diverse tales of our
modern world. Each piece that Sahar Zuhair creates invites viewers to a new sensory
experience that is open to all interpretation.
She holds a BA in Graphic Design, along
with studies in Contemporary Free Typography at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium. The first prize was
awarded to Bart’d Eyckermans Legaat, who was chosen by a jury last year
Prize
Het Legaat Bart’d Eyckermans, een jaarlijkse prijs die wordt toegekend aan genomineerde cursisten van het laatste jaar uit de verschillende ateliers.
