Qais Al Sindy

Through my colors, I protest against the world's brutality that causes people's agony, tension, and suffering. In my arbitrary approach in art, I aim to bring one closer to the actual human experience.
We are human, and nothing is more interesting to us than humanity. In my art, I leave traces of what I've created.
Qais Al-Sindy, (b. Baghdad, 1967), is a contemporary Iraqi artist whose work explores memory, identity, and the enduring impact of exile. Trained as an engineer before earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts in Baghdad, Al-Sindy blends abstraction and symbolism, often incorporating Arabic calligraphy and Mesopotamian motifs into richly layered compositions.
 
Now based in California, he exhibits internationally across the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. His paintings, held in prominent private and public collections, reflect a deep engagement with cultural heritage and the human experience of displacement.
