Imad Abu Shtayyah

Imad Abu Shtayyah is a Palestinian painter and plastic artist. Imad was born in 1965, in a Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan. He is a member of the Association of Jordanian Plastic Artists. "I have been drawing since I was a child, to express the the innate pain I feel as a Palestinian banned from returning to his homeland, and stuck in a permanent state of refugeedom. I still paint because of the complex political and human reality we live as Palestinian refugees...I try to instill hope into people's souls through my hurt, hope for the day we return."
