Studio Visit with Artist Sara Shamma | Christie's

- Syrian artist Sara Shamma invites us into her London studio to talk about her creative process, recent upheaval, and why she likes to see in double.
The sun is very sharp here,’ observes Sara Shamma. ‘The way it hits your eyes is unexpected and transforms the way I see things.’
In our short film, the Syrian artist is standing in her light-filled studio in Dulwich and reflecting on how her paintings have changed since moving to South London three years ago. ‘I’ve started using blue and green in a big way - cool colours - less of the warm reds and browns that perhaps came from my country.’
In 2012, a year after the civil war began, Shamma and her young family left Damascus for Lebanon. ‘It was a difficult time,’ she says with characteristic understatement -particularly as her husband, who was CEO of a big logistics company stayed behind in Syria, intrepidly crossing the border each weekend to visit them.
She put her dislocation and fear into her paintings, creating the monumental work Q, an extraordinary frieze of distended and deformed people, animals and birds waiting in line. Disturbingly Kafkaesque in appearance, it caught the attention of the press when it was exhibited at the Royal College in London in 2013 with Shami Chakrabarti saying ‘the pain is put to great effect… and proves that it is art and culture that changes the world.’

I love how expressive her brushwork is!!
Beautiful…. She has a gift in her soul and is able to express it with color, wow!
Her paintings are very emotional and you can truly feel the art come alive. Thank you
Why do people even bother to put a thumbs down on this lovely insight into this working artist and her studio? What are they expecting or do they not understand what is being shared? A 3min 48second little piece of lusciousness and passion. Love it.
@Under the Surface Jealousy is a terrible thing by any of those people. They should just move on if they don't like it..
Don’t let it effect you it’s not the end of the world
... Mentality
Passion. She is dripping with passion. Love it.
and money
hahaha
Typical response from a brain overloaded by hardcore violent porn.
I love it when the human portrait tells a vivid story. A tale of anguish , fear and oppression.
@Selah7 yep.... Nobody wants to see your work
This is for me, this type of art I really like, from the technique, the composition, to the final product.
She is the true meaning of the word artist.
Reflection and colors of the light are so vivid
and alive! Ophthalmological precision.
Wow! So moved right now. 🤗 thank you! Tour work speaks!
Wonderfull visit to a studio with a very sensitive , very intuitive painter vibration the awe, the love, the passion oflife.
I really love her work , colorful and accurate. Great realism done painterly and large , very nice .
Amazing work! I bless you with love and light!
She’s amaaaazing artist. Greetings from artist from the Czech republic. Thank you for the video
I love these paintings and this artist. I hope to see more of her work in the future!
All of the offensive or negative comments stem from jealousy from this talented and beautiful artist.
As for the positive and impressive comments, they indicate taste and sophistication.
I am an artist with 35 years of experience. By chance, I watched this video. She surprised me and shook my feelings with her art, personality and the brightness of her eyes.
I agree with your sentiment, only thing I am unhappy about she's not my soul mate .One thing you can say jealous but sometimes maybe it could be frustration anger that one is born and lives a life and has little to inspire .
So powerful...on the verge of tears watching this
Amazing, such beautiful and compelling work.
Caught her work at Dulwich Picture Gallery couple months back, 'Bold Spirits' exhibition - the mash up of brushwork, photo realism mixed with abstract elements is exceptional - loved it!
Wow! Very inspirational. Very talented lady. ♡
