He holds a BA in Art and Design (Fine Art) from Manchester Metropolitan University, an academic foundation that continues to inform his concept-driven and reflective approach to art-making.
Through his work, Amang invites viewers to engage in moments of introspection and quiet dialogue.
He currently lives and works in Stockport, Manchester, UK.
"The themes of my works are related to my past life.
I spent a big part of my life amongst the struggles of political games, fighting for power and war. Living in the war torn country of Kurdistan has created a large black background in my life and in my paintings which is very hard for me to forget or neglect.
It is important for me to express my feelings and share my experience of living under fear and destructive wars with the audience. Although this might seem rather a sad or unpleasant subject that many people would not be interested in, I find it really necessary to express and show the truth."
“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.”
Pablo Picasso
