Meet the Artists
Zaid Shawwa
Zaid Shawwa’s style combines the emotional intensity of abstract expressionism with the deconstructive nature of cubism, in a minimalist expression of the figure and its relationship with its experiences. His paintings are based on real moments in life, intensively sketched and studied to create an image that reflects a feeling rather than an act.
His collection is housed at the Wadi Finan Gallery, Amman, Jordan. Established in 2008, the gallery maintains and fills its space with powerful multimedia work by local and regional artists.

Ahmad Nawash
