Muhammad Nasrallah was born in Wihdat refugee camp in Amman in 1963. Since his early childhood, the artist has been deeply influenced, both visually and emotionally, by his surroundings. Nasrallah graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Amman and received a diploma in art from the Spanish Cultural Centre. Muhammad Nasrallah has held twelve solo exhibitions since 1989, and has participated in numerous Arab and international exhibitions and biennials, including in Austria, England, France and Japan. Muhammad Nasrallah lives and works in Amman, Jordan. Muhammad Nasrallah weaves every centimetre of his painting like one enamoured with what his hands produce and what his inner eye beholds. Precision of detail is brimming with evocations: for he is clear and mysterious, loving and mystifying, whispering and shouting all at once. His works remind us of the terror of Man, while simultaneously prompting us about his ability to overcome the terror. Muhammad Nasrallah is beautiful for his tormented soul; tormented by the sense of the beauty of life and its terror, which he will overcome only through his immense love. Nasrallah’s works are not only a significant addition to the Jordanian visual arts movement, but also a significant contribution to the Arab contemporary art movement. Jabra Ibrahim Jabra
