Taghlib Oweis, a sculptor hailing from Jordan, has always had a passion for sculpting despite graduating from the Music department at the University of Jordan. Growing up in Ajloun, a mountainous area in the northern part of Jordan, he worked in a stone factory at a young age where he witnessed stones being crushed into various shapes. This experience instilled in him a natural understanding of the transformative power of shaping objects, igniting his desire to become a sculptor. Despite being self-taught, Taghlib has grown as an artist, believing that while techniques and strategies are important, sculpting is fundamentally an act of improvisation. Each sculpture holds infinite possibilities, but it is up to the artist to find and create the one that speaks to them.
