Shikh Sabbir Alam studied at the Oslo Academy of Fine Arts and at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Baroda, India. Freehand drawings are the starting point from which his reflections take on a more permanent form, mostly as paintings. Recurrent themes in his work are our perception and the way in which our brains influence our observations. The artist also questions the boundary between reality and fiction. Flora and fauna are his key sources of inspiration.
