Mohammed Sami

Mohammed Sami is an Iraqi-born, Stockholm-based painter whose large-scale canvases explore themes of memory, trauma, and the psychological residue of life under Saddam Hussein's regime. His work employs a distinctive muted palette and eerily still compositions—often depicting mundane objects or domestic interiors—to evoke the haunting atmosphere of surveillance, fear, and displacement. Sami has gained significant international recognition, with exhibitions at major institutions and strong presence at leading auction houses and art fairs.
