Al-Kouh is a self-taught artist who has explored different aspects of art since childhood. After graduating from Kuwait University with a BA in Business Administration and Marketing, Al-Kouh took his passion to a new level. As a child he was captivated with the idea of “Stealing Souls and Keeping Them in Negatives”. He began to photograph everything he wished not to lose, and photography became his way to steal his favourite moments in life and keep them in his closet. Growing up facing difficulties to adapt with reality he developed a great nostalgia for an era he never lived in, an era where everything was romantic and beautiful. With his sensitive photographic techniques he reinterprets his subconscious in staged realities that create a contrast between past and present, which result in “what looks like a dream that allows him to be here and there…”
