JAMAL ALYOUSIF
STUDIO
MY STORY
My journey as a sculptor began long before I founded the Jamal AlYousif Sculpture Studio over three decades ago. Growing up in an art studio, surrounded by my father's paintings and sculptures, I was immersed in creativity from an early age. As a pioneer in the Arab art world, my father's guidance profoundly shaped both my artistic approach and life philosophy. This rich background led me to sculpture, a medium I find incredibly rewarding despite—and perhaps because of—its challenges. Over the years, I've explored a wide range of materials, each with its unique properties: metals, glass, bronze, clay, granite, and marble. As technology advances at an unprecedented pace, I believe more strongly than ever in the importance of engaging with the tangible world through our hands, hearts, and minds.
