Nawar Haidar is a Syrian artist born in 1979 and based in Spain. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Damascus in 2006. Haidar held solo and group exhibitions across the Middle East, Far East and Europe, mainly in Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Thailand, Georgia, London, Amsterdam, Vienna, Colombia, Barcelona, and Madrid. His work is praised for its originality and its spontaneity in the brushstrokes and color treatments. His work showcases the memory of the artist in relation to places from his childhood and people who are related to him, details of faces, colors, and actions. For him, painting is the time to uncover his unconsciousness and recover from shock, love, and knowledge. It is the realization of contrasts in which we live and try to draw with the pure spirit of childhood.
