TAQI SPATEEN

Taqi Spateen is a multi-talented Palestinian artist/activist, and a Graduate of Fine Arts. Spateen’s landscape paintings are where he thrives most, using his realist style, he draws inspiration from the sanctity and blessedness of the Palestinian countryside. The olive tree - the most famous of Palestinian symbols - features in nearly all of his recent paintings.
