Bahram Hajou is considered a leader in post modern Arab visual art. His works utilize the reflection of the self to explore a communal pain. His figures become a reflection of himself and his relationship with life. Hajou presents to the viewer himself as a visual offering that is reacting at the altar of his people’s pain. Along with the artist’s relationship with the female that turns her back to him, as if in eternal reproach to this being. These psychological and aesthetic values are the essential bearers of what Bahram is trying to convey, that elevate and deepen his simplistic visual style. The Syrian crisis was always strongly present in his latest works, working as a political and humanitarian message from the artist to the world.
