Mohammad Al Ameri
Mohammad Al Ameri was born in 1959 in Ghazawiya, in northern Jordan. His artistic passions emerged early on in his childhood, when he developed interests in poetry, prose and art. A seminal Jordanian artist, Al Ameri has represented the country in numerous fairs and biennales. He was also the first artist to organize a street art show on the grounds of the University of Jordan in his personal quest to erase artistic illiteracy.
He has participated in many solo and group exhibitions both regionally and internationally and has received recognition both for his painting and his poetry. Al Ameri began his artistic journey with a sharp inclination towards the realism and expressionism. He perfected a unique technique for scraping wax colors on the canvas. Later, his style took on a more modern quality, which eventually led him to abstract imagery.
His work creates ties between thoughts and movement, making every element, line, color and from a visual climax. These forms and shapes give way to colors and composition, both of which are manipulated with brushstrokes and splatters to create imprints of objects, people, and scenes that Al Ameri experiences visually in his everyday life.
Through his work, Al Ameri showcases his sensitivity, talent and technical skill by creating an intersection between the world of art and that of poetry, weaving them as two texts, one visual and the other psychological.
