Yousif Amer Iraqi, b. 2000

Yousif Amer (Iraqi, b. 2000) A contemporary painter and sculptor, currently based in Amman, Jordan. Coming from an Assyrian background, his practice explores memory, identity, displacement, and the transformation of the self through painting and sculpture. Rather than documenting personal history, his work seeks universal experiences that resonate across cultures and backgrounds. Working primarily in oil on canvas and clay, Yousif combines figurative imagery with philosophical narratives, inviting viewers to reflect on the human condition beyond geography or nationality.
