Ammar Khammash is one of the most prominent contemporary artists to emerge from the Middle East. Known for his evocative landscapes, Khammash's paintings explore the dramatic interplay between nature, history, and human presence. His works, often described as romantic, unsettling, and profound, capture vast terrains- deserts, cityscapes, mountains, and interior spaces. Far from traditional depictions, Khammash's art reflects a deeply personal connection to the landscape he traverses, blending geology, biology, and the cultural richness of these places.





As art critic Trish Edelstein notes, Khammash's paintings are not merely surface representations; they convey his lived experience and knowledge of the land, transmitting both its physical and emotional depth. His ability to integrate multiple disciplines into his work results in landscape that resonates on many levels, offering viewers a deeper understanding of place.

Khammash's work has been exhibited in prestigious galleries such as Darat al Funun, and the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts in Amman, as well as internationally at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, the Sharjah Art Museum, and the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, earning him wide acclaim for his unique artistic approach.
