Biography
Born in Damascus in 1988, Alaa Sharabi studied printmaking at the University of Damascus, where he later became an assistant professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts. His bold paintings, characterized by rich palettes and frenetic lines, present complex, cubist-like compositions of tangled figures and animals, balanced by playful, vibrant colors. This unique approach infuses his canvases with dynamic energy, highlighting the gestural aspects of his process. Sharabi has exhibited widely, including at the Beirut Contemporary Art Fair (2013), the Contemporary Global Art Fair with Samer Kozah Gallery (2014), and a group show in Fabriano, Italy (2014). In 2013, he won 1st prize at the 8th Annual Youth Exhibition. He continues to live and work in Damascus.
