Boutros Romhein (1949) is a contemporary

Born in 1949 in a southern Syrian town, he grew up in a land where the great Mediterranean civilisations had flourished and where many different peoples evolved their different cultures.

Background

During his classical studies in Damascus Boutros learned crafts techniques as a summer apprentice in the city's workshops. At an early age his vocation as an artist became manifest. At eighteen he opened his own studio in Damascus and began to exhibit in solo and group shows. He continued his preparation as an artist by journeying through Europe – Spain, France, Italy and Switzerland.

Philosophy

Boutros relates to marble as the material that best incarnates what his spirit elaborates (as olive wood previously did).
