Biography
Suliman Al Salem is a Saudi artist, born in Mecca in 1993 and residing in riyadh.
Al-Salem's work explores the complex subject of the “state of being.” It
specifically relates to the motivations and circumstances that influence human
feeling and behavior through interaction with themes such as state, feeling,
memes.
“My work is about re-presenting reality in different ways, seeking to explore
some of the many facets of truth.”

and perpetuate these ephemeral states. He also works with multiple materials
such as Video , sand, lenticular printing and language.
