Roham Shamekh is a leading figure in the current generation of innovative, forward-thinking crossover artists and designers emerging from the Middle East and fast growing internationally. His bold voice challenges conventions in the art and design world, seamlessly integrating storytelling across diverse mediums. His works, such as the Ovo Chairs, the Vase of Humanity's monumental ceramics, and the Earth Monsters candelabras, explore themes of humanity, universality, and manifestation with a transgressive approach. Since 2016, through his experimental art and design practice in Dubai, Shamekh has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation, breaking down walls between disciplines, expanding the art dialogue, and questioning what it means to be an artist in today's multicultural and pluridisciplinary environments. He has garnered a significant following with his experiential lyrical narratives fusing art, technology and heritage to create immersive and thought-provoking experiences for all.
