ABDULRAHMAN HASHLAMON IS A PALESTINIAN ARTIST. THE LACK OF AN EXPRESSIVE OUTLET THAT MANY PALESTINIANS STRUGGLE WITH UNDER THE OCCUPATION SPARKED HIS PASSION FOR ART AS LONG AS HE CAN REMEMBER, AND IN TURN, INFLUENCED HIS WORK GREATLY. OVER THE YEARS, HIS HOBBY TURNED INTO A CAREER, WHERE HE TURNED TO FREELANCE—DEVELOPING HIS ART FURTHER. WITH THE INCLUSION OF TRADITIONAL MEANS AND METHODS, HIS SKILLS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE DIGITAL SPHERE RANGING FROM DIGITAL ART TO STOP-MOTION AND ANIMATION. THROUGH THE INFLUENCE OF HIS GRANDFATHER AND CONTINUOUS LEARNING, HE DWELLED IN THE WORLD OF CALLIGRAPHY AND LETTERING. HE EXPRESSES HIMSELF THROUGH ART IN A WAY THAT IS REMINISCENT AND REFLECTIVE OF HIS MENTAL HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT WHERE HE GREW UP IN, CONVEYING THE OCCUPATION, TRAUMA AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES BROUGHT BY COLONIALISM AND ITS IMPACT ON JERUSALEMITE PALESTINIANS TODAY.
