LIFEWTR. Let Creativity Flow
Series 1: Art Beyond Borders
Art is a universal language. LIFEWTR’s Art Beyond Borders series will showcase artists whose work is influenced not only by their own, but also by other cultures.
All of the artists in this LIFEWTR series share an ability to transcend borders through their work and in their lives. When an artist works between and across cultures, they bring something of themselves and their experience, and they absorb some of the new – they embrace the intersections.
Each of these LIFEWTR artists is engaged in a dialogue beyond borders.

Athier
Athier is a Paris-based artist – he’s Iraqi from origin and grew up in London, where his father worked as an architect and his mother as a painter. His work is influenced by architecture, cubism, Iraqi modernism as well by his fascination for Arabic texts and wall carvings and Iraqi modernism. Using a vibrant range of colors and geometry, Athier’s canvases feature meaningful symbols and elements – such as the eagle and flags – that address Arabic heritage and contemporary themes.
Athier’s energetic paintings reflect both the past and the present, reflecting the artist’s roots and contemporary surroundings.
Exhibitions / Commissions:
- Solo show at Ayyam Gallery, Dubai, 2018
- Served as the British Museum’s Arab Artist in Residence from 2007-2010
- Worked in a refugee camps in Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan
- Invited by the Palestinian Museum as a Visiting Artist to conduct workshops with children in the West Bank in 2014
- Completed a residency in 2015 at Beirut Art Residency
Small symbols to Iraq’s Babylonian past, small memories I have, stories about Iraqi history — these things all appear in subtle ways in my work.
