Samir Shareef is an artist based in Khartoum, Sudan, working across painting and mixed media to translate heritage, identity, and lived experience into contemporary visual expression. His practice is rooted in the African diaspora, offering a critical perspective on Western civilisation while drawing from personal and cultural memory.
His work is often visually engaging on the surface, yet layered with subtle emotional and political undertones. Using materials such as oils, acrylics, ink, coffee for tonal depth, and pigeon feathers for delicacy, each piece evolves organically rather than following a premeditated concept. This intuitive process allows ideas around social change, power, and cultural tension to emerge naturally through texture, contrast, and abstraction.
Recurring themes explore whether humanity is progressing or regressing, touching on class politics, warfare, sexism, and media influence. Rather than prescribing meaning, Samir leaves his work open to interpretation, inviting viewers to reflect on how the imagery connects to their own experiences. Through Project 195, he contributes a thoughtful and introspective creative voice from Sudan to the project’s growing global archive.
