Ahamed Hassan - An Emerging Artist With Natural Talent

Ahamed Hassan had his first contact with the world of painting in elementary school when his teacher, a fine arts graduate, introduced him to his work. From that moment, Ahamed was taken by the idea of becoming an artist himself, and passed many class hours sketching and drawing in his notebooks. After graduation, Ahamed filled his spare hours in between various jobs painting and learning how to paint. His grandmother encouraged Ahamed’s art and recognized his natural talent for painting.  With her support, at the age of 22, Ahmad enrolled in the Cocle Fine Arts School.  “Studying art is not cheap”, says Ahmed, “My grandmother’s help made my dreams come true”. Ahamed graduated with a Fine Arts Degree at the age of 25. Ahamed is now a seasoned artist. “I paint with different mediums, but I most prefer to work with oils. My favorite theme is the Panamanian indigenous culture, on which I am currently doing an extensive. I keep working on this topic with new resources and technologies and new ideas. Every time I have a new idea, I visit the places and immerse myself in the details. Then I look for means and the medium to bring the idea to life”.  

Ahamed’s next challenge is to succeed with his painting outside of Panama. He also wants to help other Panamanian painters value themselves as artists. “There are talented Panamanians artists here, but art circles are monopolized. It is difficult to get in”, he says.

Ahamed accepts orders to paint wall murals, design rustic frames (wooden made) and texture walls with unique finishings. He uses rocks, wood, bricks, and other materials to bring to life what a client has in mind.  His most recent work is currently exhibited at his home in Las Guías Occidente, in front of Sea Cliff Beach - 300 meters from the entrance.

Ahamed also has a permanent exhibition at La Fogata Restaurante in Farallon, near the Decameron Resort, when it is open during the tourist season.
