Syrian Sculpture Reflects Syria’s Deep-rooted Civilization

Sculpture is the art of eternity. In recent years  Syrian sculpture has become a much more prominent art form, thanks to a number of works by  sculptors  , who have moved beyond using stone, wood, marble and bronze.

As an art form, sculpture has the ability to evolve and change and over the centuries has moved from classic to  abstract.

Sculptor Yasser Sbeeh , coexists with various materials in great harmony to produce vibrant sculpture works , using expressive methods including realism and abstraction.

  The sculptor Sbeeh stressed to SANA that his relationship with sculpture art is very important as it is based on passion, theoretical and experimental research in addition to adopting scientific and engineering bases to carry out his sculpture works.

Concerning  the diversity of the materials ,  which Sbeeh uses in his sculpture works ,  he pointed out that    the sculptor in general must be concerned with all the materials surrounding him and enjoys  the ability to deal with the available resources of nature.

The condition  of  Syrian sculpture  has been embodied , according to Sbeeh,   through individual experiences, especially during the nine-year brutal war  on Syria, which had  negative  repercussions on sculpturing , exhibitions and artistic forums  like all other domains  of life.

He affirms, however, that the Syrian  sculpture  continues through the experiences of artists and constitutes a continuation of the  Syrian  deep-rooted  civilization..

The sculptor Sbeeh  expressed  his confidence in the ability of the Syrian sculptors  to continue and develop  the Syrian sculpture  despite all the difficult circumstances and obstacles that impede them.

It is noteworthy to mention that sculptor Yasser Sbeeh, was born in Lattakia in 1965.  He is a member of the Syrian Plastic Artists’ Union and  participated in a number of collective art exhibitions..
