Biography
Bashir Qonqar is a Palestinian artist whose work explores human behaviour, social relationships, cultural conventions, and the psychological effects of personal and collective experience. Working with painting, drawing, digital art, mixed media, and installation, he combines figurative imagery with irony and dark humour to examine the contradictions of contemporary life. His practice uses satire as a way of questioning social norms and reflecting on the complexities of human behaviour.
Born in Beit Jala in 1980, Qonqar studied social sciences in Germany before returning to Bethlehem in 2007. Alongside his artistic practice, he has worked in social rehabilitation, public relations, and art education, including teaching at Dar Al-Kalima University. His work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Palestine, Europe, South Africa, the United States, and more, including projects at Al Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art and Al-Sakakini Cultural Centre. Qonqar currently lives and works in Austria.
