About Ahmad Ghassab

Ahmad Ghassab is a Palestinian artist and calligrapher. He was born in Amman, Jordan to a refugee family and was raised with a true passion for drawing and painting. His father walked him through the basics of calligraphy and sketching and critiqued his artwork as it matured.

After moving to the United States for his education, Ahmad developed love and admiration for both Eastern and Western cultures as well as an insight into the struggles of different people around the world. His work embraces themes from his hometown of Palestine and the larger Arab and Muslim world while also incorporating various motifs from his own life and experiences.

Ahmad’s artwork and calligraphy stretch across borders, unimpeded by boundaries, and fuses together his artistic talent with his devotion to activism, whether it brightens the hallways of the French embassy in Kuwait, beautifies a building wall in the nation’s capital, warms the home of a loving family, or frames the path to excellence for youth at a local community center.
