Amar Dawod is an influential artist of the generally known as the "80’s generation" in Iraq. His seven years in Poland and life in Sweden, for the past thirty two years, have shaped his person and artwork into the Eclecticism style. Dawod draws from the different cultures and philosophies that he was exposed to and which he relished to fully absorb. One is compelled to know that fact as one experiences his work. While he is a master of printmaking and sculpture, he regards painting to be the pages where he records and impregnates it with his philosophy.
‘If one day I decide to abandon painting, nobody will feel its impact; neither will society recognize the need for my work.”
