Ashraf Koutish
I’m Ashraf, since I was born in Syria 1991 I was surrounded by colors and papers, this was normal for a son of an art teacher who discovered my gift from the childhood. this helped me to improve and participate in various exhibitions in Syria.
After school I decided to study Electrical Engineering, and because of the war in Syria I had to travel to Dubai to work after graduation, and I could work as an engineer beside my passion in art. My focus was on portrait painting and I created many artworks of people and celebrities there.
Years later, life brought me to the Netherlands. Despite the challenges, I found new inspiration here. My experiences have influenced my art deeply, and I’ve developed new techniques with acrylic colors, focusing on abstract styles. In the summer of 2023, I showed my work at the Kunst Market in Bergen.
Soon, I’ll be officially settling in Tricht, and I’m excited to introduce myself as an artist to the community of West Betuwe.
