Mahmoud Ismail

Class: Albrecht Schäfer

. I am Mahmoud Ismail; I was born in Latakia, Syria, in 1991 and grew up in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. After initially studying medicine, I switched to graphic design in Damascus and completed my degree in 2014. In 2016, I moved to Berlin and began studying Fine Art/Sculpture at the Weißensee Academy of Art, Berlin, in 2020. It was there that I also began exhibiting my work and releasing music.

As a multidisciplinary artist

,

my interests span music, art, sound design, and both digital and traditional media.
