Because painting on the crumbling walls due to shelling echoes people's concerns, touches their hearts, and expresses their issues, Aziz Asmar, a native of the town of Bennsh in northern Idleb countryside, conveys his messages to the Syrian interior, the regional exterior, and the global arena.
"Art is a weapon that torments tyrants." Aziz began his conversation with Enab Baladi, drawing inspiration from the drawings sketched by his brush on the walls of his city, forming a stronger image than the event itself. His latest piece responds to the incident of "grave desecration" in the town of Khan Elsobol, carried out by soldiers affiliated with the Syrian regime forces.
 
The Humanitarian Issues Are His Priority
The son of Bennsh, aged 47, focuses on his paintings, portraying both internal events in Syria and external issues in the Arab world and globally. He aims to convey a message to people that the causes they care about are and will prevail despite all obstacles, as he expressed to Enab Baladi.
For him, the Syrian revolution and the Palestinian cause constitute the focus of his attention and form the cornerstone of his artistry and palette. Additionally, he is interested in other Arab uprisings, such as those in Iraq, Lebanon, Sudan, and Egypt.
Aziz chronicles crimes through art and pursues the rights of journalists, such as the incident involving the injury of the Palestinian photographer Muath Amarneh at the hands of Israeli forces, considering shedding light on these humanitarian issues as his duty.
Aziz works to convey his messages to emphasize that Syrian society is not a closed-minded community engulfed in ignorance and bigotry, contrary to how many media outlets attempt to portray it, striving hard to create this negative stereotypical image.
Deep Impacts Illustrated by His Paintings
If it weren't for the profound impact art has, the Mossad wouldn't have killed the Palestinian painter Naji Al-Ali, the Syrian regime wouldn't have broken the fingers of the Syrian painter Ali Ferzat, and they wouldn't have assassinated Raed Fares, the architect from Kafr Nobol, some time ago, according to Aziz.
Aziz refuses to subject his imagination and brush to political allegiances, considering his messages situational and not allowing anyone to control them through support, guidance, or even favoring one color over another.
Social media, newspapers, and channels, whether local, Arabic, or international, circulate Aziz's drawings after he expresses each issue through his art.
And regarding the impact of his paintings in Syria, Aziz responded, "I sense the influence of most of my artworks on the interior. The drawings that convey resilience bring solace to the fearful, prompting some of them to return after having fled their homes."
As for the impact of paintings depicting Arab and global issues, the interaction with them comes through altering their perception of the Syrian society. Through his artworks, they saw solidarity, culture, and knowledge in this community.
Among the paintings that addressed global issues is the painting of the French student Maryam Pougetoux, who was attacked by the media for wearing the hijab only. This gained appreciation from many of Aziz's friends in France.
 
Aziz Asmar 
Aziz Asmar obtained his high school diploma in 1991, then traveled to the Lebanese capital, Beirut, where he worked in a publishing house for over 20 years.
The father of three left his job in Lebanon after hearing the first call for "freedom" in 2011 to join the revolution.
Aziz gathers with several poets, painters, sculptors, and journalists in a modest studio in the city of Bennsh to discuss ideas, issues, and artworks. The painter and sculptor Anis Hamdoun led this team, having many years of experience in this art.
