Hussein Salim

Born as a Sudanese, Hussein Salim sees his paintings as a conversational bridge between diverse cultures. His work resonates with a potent belief in art as a conduit for dialogue.

Hussein's personal journey as a refugee has considerably shaped his art, breathing life into a poignant nostalgia. His art evokes an understanding of our unique disparities and responses, while also underscoring the common thread of humanity that binds us all.

In his dense, richly textured canvases, Salim masterfully layers techniques, resulting in a striking impasto effect. This creates a tapestry of personal symbols that are simultaneously reflective of ancient traditions and modern times.
