| It is not easy to seperate Abdul Rahims Salems´s life from his sculpture and art. His studies in Egypt paved the way for his working in a variety of differnt materials. Salem´s work from that time stresses the identity of Arab heritage.
Rahim´s paintings contain special effects that derive from different aspects of civilisation. His paintings are free from the concern of visual limits - clearly shown in the way he presents darkness and light in cognitive harmony. |
