AURAYA

Youssef Abdelke, one of Syria’s leading artists, works between gesture and hyperrealism, using printmaking, engraving, pastel, and charcoal. Through powerful still lifes and haunting charcoal drawings, his imagery—bound objects, skulls, knives, and everyday symbols—reflects the violence of war and the lived reality of Syria, expressing the fears and emotions of ordinary citizens amid a nation marked by conflict.

Abdelke’s works are showcased as part of Damascus : Echoes From Within @alhoshgallery .
