Biography

Born in Kraia, Syria, in 1954, Lutfi Romhein studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, Italy, with a scholarship from the Italian consul. Renowned as a leading sculptor in Syria and the Middle East, Romhein creates fluid and lyrical figures, animals, and abstract compositions using materials like wood, marble, plaster, and steel.
His works range from monumental public commissions to pedestal-sized pieces and furniture, characterized by smooth, sensual curves. Exhibited globally in Syria, the UAE, Italy, France, Canada, the US, Norway, England, and Spain, his sculptures are permanently displayed at institutions such as the National Museum of Damascus, the National Museum in Amman, the Town Hall of Brusque in France, the Syrian Embassy in Washington, DC, and Burj Khalifa Plaza in Dubai.
