Three Kurdish Artists in Poland will represent Kurdistan at the 27th International Painting Exhibition, “Colors of Małopolska.” The event will bring together 28 artists from six countries for two weeks of creative and cultural exchange.
The exhibition will open Monday in Miechów, Poland. Artists from Kurdistan, Croatia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia will take part.
Kurdish painters Ahmed Nabaz, Kosar Jalal, and Khairi Adam will represent Kurdistan. They will create new artwork, share their methods, and build ties with other participants.
Kurdish Artists in Poland Present Kurdish Culture
Ahmed Nabaz said the event gives artists with different styles a place to exchange ideas. Their work will explore nature, daily life, and cultural identity.
For the Kurdish participants, the symposium also offers a chance to introduce Kurdish art to an international audience.
Nabaz said their participation is about more than displaying paintings. He hopes the artists’ work will present a positive image of Kurdistan and its culture.
The gathering will also help artists from different countries form professional relationships. Participants will have time to discuss their work, observe different painting methods, and learn from one another.
During the two-week programme, Miechów and nearby areas will serve as an open studio for the artists.
Participants will visit historical sites and natural areas around the city. They will then use those experiences as inspiration for new paintings.
The format allows artists to work in a shared setting while responding to the same local environment. Each participant will interpret the area through a different artistic style and cultural background.
Organizers say the purpose is not limited to producing paintings. The symposium also seeks to bring cultures closer and create lasting links between artists.

Joint Exhibition to Close the Event
The symposium will end with a joint exhibition featuring the newly completed works.
Visitors from Poland and other countries will be able to see how each artist interpreted the region’s landscapes, history, and culture.
The final display will also give the three Kurdish artists a platform to present their work alongside artists from across Europe.
Nabaz was born in Erbil in 1986. He studied painting at the College of Fine Arts in Erbil. He has since held solo exhibitions and joined group exhibitions inside and outside Kurdistan.
His participation with Jalal and Adam adds Kurdish representation to an event that has reached its 27th edition.
