24-year-old Ismail Farhad is an artist from Shaqlawa, Erbil, Iraq. Farhad has been passionate about art since his early childhood.
"My parents remember noticing my inclination towards art as they watched me draw with a pencil on paper even when I was crying. As I grew older, I continued to explore new art forms, which led me to pursue a career in graphic design. In addition to my academic background in mechanics and mechatronics, I spend my time playing the violin and doing various creative activities such as drawing and painting." (Farhad, translated from English)
