SANNIB
SANNIB – Sannib’s iconic portraiture celebrates a distinguished collection of instantly recognisable figures to produce show-stopping artworks. The creativity with which he represents familiar faces is both innovative and charming; the classical portrait is abstracted, and the Illusion of layers gives stunning depth to the work.
Sannib is a graduate in Graphic Design from the Syrian Design Center, Aleppo, Syria (1997). Before becoming a notable artist, he enjoyed a successful career in advertising, working in creative agencies in Kuwait, the UAE and London.
Experience of his inspired background is evident in his creative process; his artwork is sophisticated, and his compositions are intricate and intriguing.
Sannib has developed a unique mixed media style blending graphic elements, painting techniques and textures. He uses several materials and mediums, combined with highly distinctive colourways and avant-garde finishes.
Most recently, his foray into aluminium art has resulted in highly stylised and sleek finished pieces while utilising aluminium as a medium in its own right. Its highly reflective surface offers an interesting finish to the work.
