Ekrem Bekir, from Hesekê, graduated from Damascus University Faculty of Journalism in 2007. He has been painting since 2011. Ekrem Bekir, who paints in a small room of his house, hangs his pencils, paints and paintings on the walls of his room.

Ekrem Bekir told ANHA: "I started drawing at a young age, but I started doing it professionally in 2011. At first, portraits, nature and realistic drawings were my style. I draw mostly with olive colors and black pencil, using two different techniques. Sometimes I draw with pencil and sometimes with graphics. "Each method has its own principles and rules."

Ekrem Bekir continued: "I have painted many paintings and participated in local exhibitions so far. However, due to the conditions in the region, I could not participate in international exhibitions.

Every artist has his own idea. Some call drawing a hobby or art. This depends on everyone's opinion. I also express my feelings through the paintings I make. Drawing means a lot to me, I see it as a part of life. I'm just engrossed in my paintings and colors. I can say that beauty exists with free creativity."
