THE FOUNDERS OF THE PROJECT:
Khaled Youssef
Khaled Youssef was born in Damascus and lives in Nice, France. He is a photographer, a poet and an art-lover by passion, and a surgeon by profession.
In his work as a photographer and poet, Khaled does not seek complexity, but rather impalpable beauty and poetry. With his ‘Poetography’ work of art, Khaled combines poetry with photography in a unique manner: he associates his own photographs with his own poetry, or poetic prose from authors he admires or knows personally.
Khaled’s poetry book ‘Murmures’ (Whispers) is the witness of a love story between the French language and the spirit of the Middle-East. He takes the reader on an emotional journey through inspiring words, and pulsing feelings. So many moments of daily life that make us dream life.
Besides that, Khaled dedicates himself to the management of the ‘SYRIA.ART’ association, the ‘Syria.Art’ Facebook page and the ‘Creative Havens: Syrian Artists And Their Studios’ project, for which he is responsible for the whole photography, video and interview sessions with the artists at their studios.
With equal enthusiasm Khaled is also devoting himself to art promotion & art curatorials for the Syrian Art. As an art curator he dedicates himself activaly to assisting art organizations, institutes or galleries which share our vision and passion for the Syrian Art, for the organisation and implementation of international art projects, such as art exhibitions, forums, symposiums, or even interviews of Syrian artists for diverse magazines or Websites.

Humam Alsalim
Humam Alsalim is an architect and an art-lover. He was born in Damascus, Syria, and lives in Berlin, Germany.
His passions include literature, music, culture, architecture, and of course the arts, and more specifically the Syrian Art.
Besides the ‘SYRIA.ART’ association project and the ‘Syria.Art’ Facebook page, Humam also manages an online art gallery, ‘Cyrrus Gallery‘.
The ‘Syria.Art’ Facebook page has become nowadays the most popular and significant online archival records on the Syrian Art and the Syrian Artists. Its popularity has increased steadily since it has been launched in 2012, and with each passing day, it gains increasing public support.
Some of the artists showing at ‘Cyrrus Gallery’ are unknown outside of Syria, not only to the international public but also to the international commercial art world. In this effect, ‘Cyrrus Gallery’ operates also as a springboard for young Syrian artists to launch their careers on an international level.
Among other things, Humam is also devoting himself to art promotion & art curatorials for the Syrian Art. As an art curator he dedicates himself to assisting art organizations, institutes or galleries which share our vision and passion for the Syrian Art, for the organisation and implementation of international art projects, such as art exhibitions, forums and symposiums.
