MAAS-project 03 - april 2016

 

Since December 2015 the young visual artists Fadi Nadrous from Syria and Farimah Soltani from Iran worked one day a week at the studio of Bart Drost, the space where the MAAS-activities take place. In 'an universal language' Fadi and Farimah show recent works that they have made here in the Netherlands.

Farimah made several paintings together with a Dutch artist, Fadi also invited his Syrian artist/friend Amer Alwahibi to contribute to the show.
