Osama est un artiste vivant à Nantes et d'origine égyptienne. Il crée des œuvres singulières où ses personnages se mêlent et nous prennent à partie par leurs regards qui nous scrutent.

Ses œuvres mêlent des collages en fond issus de ses propres textes ou lectures, toujours en écriture arabe ainsi que de morceaux de partitions de musique chère au cœur de l'artiste.

Osama peint à l'huile sur bois.

Ici, l'œuvre a été peinte sur un grand morceau de bois flotté récupéré au bord de l'océan par l'artiste qui l'a ensuite fait séché de nombreux mois avant de le peindre.
L'artiste a utilisé les trous et fissures du bois d'origine pour les intégrer dans les visages et expressions des personnages.
