Elias Ayoub

through art I release my thoughts so that today's viewer becomes a witness to tomorrow's evolution.
Fifteen years since I became a professional artist, no day has passed without art in my life.
the most noticeable source of inspiration for me is the Human and his psychology, I constantly ask myself questions about the inner state of the human in love, passion and various emotions, and answer these questions visually on my canvases.
Another important part of my life that inspires me is the rich culture and the deep history of the people in Middle East.
In 2013 I left my beloved city Damascus to come to my new home in Moscow. I have often participated in mutual exhibitions, Art Fairs and projects in many countries of the world, and have done many personal exhibitions.
I am proud that my paintings are kept in state collections and museums in five countries, as well as in many private collections around the world, and that I have been awarded in competitions for young artists.
Nowadays, I am represented by three galleries in the middle east.
