Biography

Born in Daraa, southwest Syria, in 1989, Mohammad Labash studied painting and drawing at Damascus University. His paintings are characterized by vigorous energy, chaotic strokes, and overlapping blocks of color interspersed with scribbled lines. Often featuring autumnal hues, his semi-abstract compositions suggest figures in the shadows, prompting viewers to unravel the embedded details. Labash describes his work as akin to a child’s relentless questioning and exploration, a process evident in his intense painterly technique. Influenced by Damascus’ urban landscape and socio-political climate, his art captures the city’s dynamism and underlying tensions.
