His digital abstract expressionist art was ignited 23 years ago by the pain he went through when his daughter was diagnosed with a chronic illness.
You will find that Salman's digital paintings are very random but controlled. In every picture, he tries to express himself to show the viewer what he has created and what he means. His art can be seen from many different perspectives, but they all represent the search for beauty in chaos and despair.
Moussa Salman is always thinking about global problems and what he can do to help. This is evident in his works that focus on these problems, such as climate change, war, refugees, the covid pandemic, injustices, racism, poverty, and human rights. Also, modern social problems like loneliness, depression, isolation, and fake news. He hopes that his work can raise awareness and understanding by moving people to feel each other's problems.
