“Harmony 2”…. Sculptural art exhibition  hosted by BUILDEX  2023 in Damascus  

Through a collection  of sculptural artworks showcased  in his exhibition entitled “ Harmony 2”,   Syrian sculptor Wael Fawzi Hilal depended on  the parallelism of the mass with the space , to embody human meanings that represented  solidity and strength derived from basalt.  

The exhibition was hosted by International Exhibition for Construction  BUILDEX  2023 held  on the grounds of the new fairgrounds in Damascus countryside. 

It displayed   14 sculptural art works through which many ideas and themes were depicted from memory, history and reality.

 Hilal stressed  in a statement to SANA  the importance of participating in this exhibition, as it is an important opportunity to communicate with engineering specialists in the field of design and  decoration  to benefit from their experiences.  

Hilal believed  that the artistic work that was born from nature must come out of the constraints of the galleries to be introduced to the largest number of the audience.  

What distinguishes Hilali’s exhibitions in Syria and abroad is the visual identity that he presents through the curves of the lines on which he has been conducting his research and studies for nearly twenty-five years as the curved line has the effect of making him search in nature and the objects surrounding it to find that it is one of the secrets of the formation of the universe and the source of beauty 

Hilal drew attention to the richness of Syrian-deep rooted  civilizations that date back to thousands of years  and has reached us through the creations of sculptors and plastic artists who left clear imprints, through which they became the first historians in human history, as they depicted their daily lives through their artwork.

“The Syrian sculpture  policy witnessed the succession of many artistic eras, in each of which a group of plastic artists emerged who preserved through their works the cultural heritage and history, and continued to develop and flourish to this day” according to Hilal. 

He indicated  the Syrian artist accompanied the most important civilizations that passed through the history of mankind and embodied them in the most sincere way. 

The Syrian sculptor  Hilal  added that currently he is  preparing to hold several exhibitions in the United Arab Emirates, but he is always keen to participate    in cultural and artistic events held in his country.

Hilal was born in 1978, and he is a member of the Plastic Artists Union. He has solo exhibitions, including the BUILDEX  exhibition in Syria for 6 sessions, and other collective  exhibitions such as the International Basalt Forum in the city of Al-Sweidah  and the second basalt sculpture exhibition.
