Rahel Gubari studied painting in his native city of Sulaymaniyah in Iraq and at the Art Academy Düsseldorf. He started with a classical training, focused on figurative painting. In Düsseldorf he intensely worked on abstract painting. But figuration became a kind of return to a new beginning. In his works, glowing colors encounters often on severity and melancholy.

Rahel Gubari: "Since 2006 I live and work in Germany, in Düsseldorf. I studied painting and graphics at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Prof. Siegfried Anzinger. In Germany, there is an international art scene, galleries and museums. As an artist, I am dependent on discussions with other professionals to continue on my way. I could not do this in my mother country."
