Ezidi Artist Uses Art to Raise Awareness of the 2014 Ezidi Genocide

When asked about how he first started to paint and his path to discovering his artistic talent, Hisham explains that he has always been into art. Surprisingly, Hisham recalls how someone else took credit for his artwork which made him stop to draw for a while. The incident happened at the Talent Center in Khansour Complex at which Hisham had completed a course and was asked to draw paintings for the closing ceremony. However, on the day of the ceremony, Hisham’s name had been removed from his artwork and instead been replaced by the name of a girl. This incident made the artist disappointed and caused him to stop drawing for a while.
