Fatah is known as the Semi-Abstraction Artist. He produced well-illustrated works with a beautiful choice of colours. The subjects are usually the people he observed around him. The movements and the characters of the people give him inspiration, for him to create those ideas into masterpieces. Blue is his choice of colors due to the calmness and peace that he can derive from it. Not many textures on his canvas, only smooth rendering of layers of acrylic colors.
He holds some important job in his country. The job that relates closely to the development of youth, arts, and culture.

Artist’s Statement
Abstract art now lives in the art world in many forms. It is two- and three-dimensional. It can be vast or small. Abstract art can also be made with many materials and on many surfaces. It can be used in concert with representational art or completely abstract. Artists creating it often focus on other visual qualities like color, form, texture, scale, and more in their nonobjective work.
Some artists like Mohammed Fatah, play and rearrange different shades of colors to express their thoughts, while others use lines and shapes to create images. And that’s called semi-abstract.
