About
Amman, JordanVisual artist working between painting and photography from Amman
Biography
Mohammad Al Omar is a visual artist working from Amman between painting and photography, returning to the face, memory, light, and the trace of place.
He has taken part in solo and group exhibitions and symposia in Jordan and abroad, while continuing to build a visual archive around people and the city.
He holds a BSc in Software Engineering from Philadelphia University, completed in 2009; that background informs method and archiving rather than the front of the artistic identity.
Mohammad Al Omar is the professional name connected to the full name Mohammad Omar Alkhateeb.
