Many different characters and the mix between the western bohemian style tapestry and the old Middle Eastern style tapestry in the old time in the Middle East in our rugs in Syria, we don't have big looms tapestry looms to do big pieces. So what a weaver makes and it's very common in the weaving in our world is to make one drug split the design in two pieces in that takes time and effort to have the design match like bookmark and then after finish from the weaving has a special type of stitches to stitch together and create one pic piece to cover a larger area on the floor or on the walls. The design on this pattern is also has an old design of an Persian carpets that has small squares in the carpet and each square has a different pattern you can see in the blue and white and one of the pieces.

Traditional Middle Eastern weaving, modern weaving, Bohemian style weaving,

Hi, my name is Mahmoud! I am a Syrian fiber artist whose family has been weaving for over 600 years. I carry my family’s heritage, utilizing traditional weaving methods and materials in a modern way. The Syrian Civil War forced me to leave my country, separating me from my family and the looms that held generations of stories. My art reflects this disconnection, using thick, vibrant fibers to portray the trauma and disruptions life throws our way.

When I was 12 years old I started learning how to weave on a large traditional floor loom in my dad's weaving shop. Slowly I became a weaver, and my love for weaving encouraged me to learn to build my own looms for my family as well. I moved to Dubai due to the war when I was a teenager. Seeing work in a different country opened my eyes to explore more types of weaving and art. I expanded beyond my family's traditional weaving to cultivate my own style. I consider my work a mix between Middle Eastern and Bohemian styles.

I work on looms that I design and build specifically for my body and my projects. My tapestries are in galleries, hotels, and private homes throughout the world. I moved to the United States in 2023 and have sold my tapestries to individuals and businesses all over the country.

I am also open to custom orders - designed for your space!

Thank you for reading my story; I hope you find something that makes you happy in what I make.
