| Sadik Kwaish Alfraji |
| |
A visual artist, print maker and designer. Studied art and philosophy.
To him art and philosophy blend, for their course in depth is one.
Doesn't believe in one fixed form that might limit the artist or
in the material in itself. What is more important is the style. The
style is the entity of the artist that we observe and see in his/
her works and which is only completed by his/ her death. |
