In Khaled al-Khani's work, we find a development similar to the works of may artists of the German Expressionist movement beginning before the period of the First World War, such as Otto Dix.〔 Memories of the conflict in Syria have a profound influence on his work. Regarding his representation of Um Ibrahim, he says: ''One might ask why I am drawing Um Ibrahim in such a beautiful way, as a pretty woman. In my mind, I remember the old woman Um Ibrahim's image, this is more beautiful than a pretty girl, this woman who opposed the killers in 1982. I see her as an image, in a higher place, that needs to be painted. In fact, my painting are closely related to my memories of what happened in Hama, it comes from my childhood, what I witnessed daily, memories of the Hama massacre. Such events leave a deep-cut memory in me that is hard to remove. I believe, in my artistic process, these memories are visible in my paintings. It has something to do with how I see the woman. The woman, the most essential and available person, she was the hero of my paintings.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khaled al-Khani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
