PhD from the Higher National College of Fine Arts in Paris. He worked as a professor of oily photography at the College of Fine Arts until his retirement. He also worked as a decorator for Syrian television and military theatre. He is one of the most important Syrian plastic artists who have distinguished themselves in their renewed style of visual art. His experience was based on heritage, the history of the nation and tales of people throughout the ages and imbued modern artistic trends. Alawani embodies the expressions of the world of fiction, using a lot of connotations and symbols that transform relationships and forms into a mythical state. His paintings, in his words, seek hope despite labour, sorrows and anxiety. It captures the superstitious atmosphere of crafted places only to demonstrate the repercussions of life's continuity signals. It is a symbolic entry point for interaction with dreams in moments of escapism from the effects of anxiety, stress and turbulence.
