The walls of the Cultural Center in Abu Rummaneh in Damascus were decorated with retrospective paintings that brought together different generations in the seventh retrospective exhibition of graphic art.

It dates back to the sixteenth century, which is a necessity and it is the duty of our schools and educational institutions to consider plastic art as a basic subject in our educational curricula.
In turn, the plastic artist Wassim Abdel Hamid, director of the Fine Arts Directorate, pointed out that the importance of the exhibition comes from restoring the paintings of the old generation of pioneers of fine art, which are among the holdings of the Directorate of Fine Arts, in addition to the presence of paintings from the young generation who benefit from these valuable experiences, and they constitute an important cultural and civilizational heritage. .
