Nizar Sabour

Nizar Sabour was born in Latakia in 1958. Graduted in the Department of Photography of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Damascus University in 1981. He pursued his studies in Moscow and received his doctorate in the philosophy of art in 1990. He headed the Department of Photography of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus. Sabour's experience began with its passionate fictional cities hanging in dream-embroidered spaces, which he addressed in close forms and references similar to what young people leave on the margins of their handsome school books, intersecting with abstract nipple shapes preceded by Paul Klee, Kandinsky and Juan Miro, and other glorious photographers.  Sabour's experience is unique in its enduring diversity, and its continuous wanderings in the cities of the great art, but nevertheless, it retained the privacy of its owner, which gave the uniqueness of the modern Syrian formation and because it was essentially out of the region's rich heritage with structural and semantic data, and was hobbled by novelty, closely associated itself and its place.
