Dia Alhamwi
Dia Alhamwi, was born in Aleppo in Syria in 1963.During my upbringing, could follow my father in environments with sufism, music and art and dance. was also early fascinated by Arabic calligraphy, Arabic "art". was painting from early age, when he got older, he often looked at art from all over the world and received a lot of inspiration from oriental music, and many friends have inspired me with their music over the years. he have tried to find his own expression in his art, based in Syria, but also with inspiration and impressions from other artists around the world. The pace and rhythm of music are included in my paintings. all artists have been created to make the world better, while there are other people trying to destroy the world. Each has its own planning, someone who kills others, and some who give others hope and life. they can not win over the ugliness of the world by using the ugliness, and they can not win war by war, but they can defeat war by using peace. he feel strongly that he could continue to paint and create, and with my art, help make the world better by spreading joy and hope to the people around me. It is important now that the world looks like it does today. In 2013 he came to Sweden because of the war in his native Syria, and now he is living in a small city, Nora, and he would love to continue working with my art, as he did during my life in Syria. I paint mainly in acrylic and oil.

A board where the viewer could participate in creating the board by moving the parts that the board consists of. The board consisted of several smaller paintings that I had created. These smaller paintings could be relocated and create a new whole, a new painting, a new look, a new thought. That way, the viewer became not only an audience but also a participant in the art.
