Note du spécialiste

Abdul Hay Mosallam Zarara is a self-taught artist whose work explores ideas of memory, resistance and collective action. After briefly serving in the Jordanian Air Force, he joined the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) in the late 1960s. Mosallam served with the PLO in Libya where he developed the bas-relief technique that became a signature of his paintings. He currently lives and works in Amman, Jordan.
