The Artist Of The Month

Abdel Razzaq Shabalout

     By Rola Saab      

Music Syria has met with a talented syrian painter Abdel Razzaq Shabalout.  He was born in 1974 and became interested in art at an early age. His father enrolled him in the local Subhi Shouab art school where he soon achieved notoriety among his fellow students. Later, he graduated from the faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus.

 

 

After graduation, he traveled to Dubai to work as graphic designer for an advertising company, but never abandoned art as a way of expressing his emotions. “Art is the Oxygen I need to live” he says. One day, he decided that his professional job did fill his pocket but not his soul and decided to abandon the luxury and the superficiality of his surroundings and return to Syria to live a very simple life fully dedicated to painting. “I am trapped by the beautiful faces, the stunning landscapes, and the dramatic scenery of Syria” he says.  “I invariably become inspired by my surroundings and find that I can easily unleash my creativity.”
