civilizations lived. how wars were fought, how political change to place. her societies were oppressed and how they rose to freedom. one of the modern world longest running unresolved conflicts is the struggle of the palestinian people. many policy and artists have devoted their lives to portray and convey their reality. one of the most prominent painters, islam, and months old. born in 1947 in brazil, palestine a year before the establishment of the state of israel. masood studied fine arts in jerusalem, growing up under occupation. his work 1st gained recognition at the age of 26, with the peace camel of hardship portraying an elderly, bent over porter, struggling to carry jerusalem on his back. and ever since his work depicting the policy and struggle and culture has travelled the world from him alone to london to

new york. now at the age of 75, has he lost hope peace will ever come. i'm stephanie decker and my love in the occupied west bank. solomon my food is regarded by many as one of the master artist of the 1st intifada. the 1st palestinian uprising. and it's here in the studio where brushes will paint and even mud portray mister months, who are the vision of the palestinian people there passed their present and their future the burden they carry and their ongoing struggle policy and artists lay my my food talks. i filaments, food, thank you so much for talking to al jazeera usually starts the beginning of your career. i want to talk about the present. i want to ask you how you would describe yourself as an artist, how you would describe your body of work so far, to be very difficult. and very interesting, you know,

the problem in the occupied territories is that it's full of the ideas mean full of contradictions. and that's very interesting for the artist. i consider my work as part of the for the student people life because it reflects that life and reflects the feelings of the people i hope so. so that's my out. i don't know what would have done if there was no occupation or if i was living in switzerland total example in germany. well, ever but the that i see it affected me a lot and effected my out. so this is very much also a personal documentation of your personal journey. it is part of this people and

when, when i left a cake, experiences that reflect my own experience of what is changed over the decades in the sense of the ground has changed. politics has changed, situation is changed, has that been reflected in your work as an artist? i think something. i feel the difference between one time and the other. but the main thing that happened here, that feeling changed in the seventy's is there was a lot of the for there was a lot of hope for, for the future. and people were helping each left of the free will. but then when the peer or again when the p p and a started, all these feelings were lost. people change. i mean the attitude to live,

their attitude, to their patient attitude, to all everything changed. they were much more. i believe they were much more clean out, they were much more sincere in the seventy's and they said you could find everywhere, volunteer work in municipalities and universities and to be it's everywhere. and people helping each other, especially in the fist into father could see that feeling enough that the opposite and everyone along i'm in fighting for or had on and tell us which is okay, but it's too much in them. and there is no volunteer work at all belonging to the survey it if you're talking about hope, the people have change in the seventy's. have people lost hope over the decades.

have you felt that due to the political situation on the ground and has that been reflected in your work? how, how was that changed? was that or the whole can on the part of the hope that they have then it in the seventy's and it is but until the recent events, you know, when people saw the demonstrations and the whole world and men, man among females, living in israel, that a lot of the hope among the people and the hope would attend the cell. i didn't do any work off of that, but i'm sure the next 12 will deal with this kind of feeling that you're an artist. what is art for you is? is it a form of release?

is it a form of diary? are you trying to give a message? how would you describe what it, what it does for you inside paint? i think all of you have kind of, i believe. and out, tuition, well, when you don't have the homeland, when you don't have the i mean it can't be a political think. and when people deny your existence on many, many places and noticed they, they deny your existence. so the form of the thing that we are here, we are living here, we have long root, and that gives all my think to the homeless. the themes you used in your work. i do think that we just have a few of them around us here, but there is

a very there is like we think it conveys strong emotion. i think looking at your work, it's difficult not to feel like what kind of message like look for example, this one there's a lot of embrace in your work is really is element of men here in my work. and i use the symbol of the woman to reflect some of those things. and one of them is that of edition that was in the seventy's . now, the homeland, for example, the land punish time is hugging the policy now people and on more or less like that. i think to, to, to put the feeling of belonging among the philistines. people is very important because without that we have lost every policy should they have to

kind of long to, to go to the policy now people to the homeland, to the policy the problem may be and not to give all his life but or her lives. but some, some of it you use different methods, let's say during the 1st and the father, he started using more mud the land in terms of creating there's one painting i saw on your instagram called absent presence and you have 2 fingers and most of them are describe it to me like a cracked mud and then you just have their feet that is still sort of in a very powerful my width. and during the 1st intifada, i started that because the idea of the 1st divide, there was 2 point kept the only product come from. so i have 12 natural materials.

i don't been started working. good luck, my work for the for, and month like 15 years intensively and then i went back to painting in my career, doyle, and sometimes i have ideas and months still work in mud, but sometimes i mix the 2 together. i do mud and then i continue to work in a clinic or oil and depends. you know, what does much convey no mud is very symbolic. i mean it's symbolic for the human beings, it's symbolic. for land, it's embolic football's time. it's symbolic for if you should live with the mud for to, to dry it. correct. and it symbolizes also, it kind of feeling i have getting older and symbolizes also the

political condition he has. and when you, whenever you go to landscape geography is fragmented. so it's has a lot of meanings and very intensive meaning over your career over your life, over the decade. the land, pat, historic palestine has been shrinking. in terms of settlement expansion is that you have one, you have one painting where you see a woman and she's standing with a policy and a flag and it's like a virus landscape. what inspires you? how? how did, how did these ideas come to you? what are you trying to convey? what happened in the recent tier of they're making peace with some other countries? and so give not only me, but many 15 as it give them a feeling of being alone. so i got that the idea of the painting

from the whole atmosphere that everybody is leaving, but we are still here and we will go on with that with our for again, that's the main idea. i wanted to ask you about that because your art has been embraced in the arab world. you're famous, you know, things, policy and painters. it's easy to buy a painting and put it on your wall. do you feel that the arab world has somehow abandoned the palestinians a little bit at this point in time? don't believe that a word and i'm sure the people everywhere the support us and the was what the government here on the 4th by certain father or nick year. but. but this is not the it's not easy. you know,

it's not easy for a policy ent see a way of doing that mentally. while it's trying to bring down docs i was while killing people here and occupation and then they go and be embraced and outcomes to sort of help us to see that. and it makes us very said, but then sure, the the other people in general don't feel like there again for me. you mentioned alone when it comes to being a policy and is there a loneliness to being an artist? yeah. of course and up this t will extend on the studio alone. that's how do you know loneliness is part of

production. but to, to is in the look the loneliness comes in, you know, not only the artist laundromats, but in life in general. i think that's why many people say that my sad, depressing sometimes about because it's not easy to live and such as tuition like we live here. it's a lonely situation. sense, tuition and that reflect that. do you feel you have a responsibility as an artist because of exactly who you are and what you live? you and the rest of the palestinians to reflect? what is incredible powerful emotion that you managed to convey through your work? is that, do you feel? is that a burden or is that something that enlightened you when you create affect my my up to feel my own creation. just charge for

that. i put in my, in my work and i work on attending like one week very that have been sticking lead on trying to do all of the ships and putting them to there is any creativity in that. but at the last moment in the last hour, when, when, when i had sit and touches on the 5th and last i think this creates the power that is in the painting. and i believe this is the creativity that i put in the painting. i also feel a kind of responsibility as an artist and as a well known artist among the listing people, i see little responsibility to reflect the life of the people and to health and getting us free. and they tell you it's not easy. it's not

a nice feeling to have this obligation sometime i wanted, i want, i think that it will be much easier if i am a teacher or an architect or whatever, you know. but because sometimes the feeling that you have and the building that you have to do, things is immense. and failing the concept. looking at your painting, your most famous painting that you were saying initially got sold, ended up in the hands of one mcguffey, correct. the camel of burden, the painting disappeared. in $9697.00, we started documenting for christina up and i thought that would be

a good idea to document that we have course and we contacted contacted that lived in person, non men in london and the promise to come back to me after one week something like that, they came back to me and they said there's no painting, it's just appeared to fix it, fix them because one, bob, bon bonded pallets of conduct him. and so we put one on we nearly believe that the towards destroyed during that or bombardment to some of your work, or at least i suppose how it's been lost, represents regional, the regional history, the regional politics. there's another piece i was reading about, which is called woman breastfeeding. she's breastfeeding and she's holding a gun. that seems to have disappeared as well. yes,

we're in the rotan, i think 7879. we started something called museum for the ballistic people and they got a lot of donations from many up and the whole world and also from palestine up to stand. they did it at least 3 or 4 pen things for that museum. and also at that time we were part of the union opened up this and been rude. so we used to send them to exhibit them with them. that was other testability, not this and then the world it to happened, occupational and but mental money. but as soon as the 2 sons, including the museum for policy, for, for the policy and then people and also the headquarters of the union policy, not, not to so many of the pictures that we have destroyed. and the painting

that we are not destroyed, they were told and the people took took them away. but also some months before the vision of the road they organized and exhibited in iran, of our paintings and they sent them. and then when the law happened and the left they wrote, and so the paintings are still in iran and you can't get them back. do you know where they are? and the museum, the museum of thought. but they wouldn't listen. you know, that kind of been cryptic thinking, we didn't get them from me. we got them from other people and i'm not there anymore . so we left many paintings in italy. we made several

exemptions in italy and most of them are lost. many, many people lost their work there also we left many work. a big exemption was the dance and in 79. the problem is that we didn't document many of the paintings that were lost here and there and then and besides the manufacturing consecrated by the, by the authorities. notice bank these readings confiscated your work as well. it confiscated the from me like 4 or 5, pending from other up to like this or more. there was no rule about what kind of paintings should be configured until 1981 when

they give us this or that about not not allowing us to print in black and white color. so this kind of thing that have this color in them can you paint without this color? not really is at that time and for a couple of years, most of our paintings will red and red, green, black and white. the concept we were talking about your most famous work, the camel of burden, the concept of burden, the concept of hardship. it's impossible not to look at your paintings, whether it's in real life, whether it's on your instagram feed and not feel the emotion. and the pirate conveys of, from what i see is incredible sadness and the style job. it's very rare to see real hope and positivity in your work. how difficult

has that been for you to live, to live it and obviously it's emotion you you conveys so well to the outside in looking back at my life and the feelings that they have about all this kind of tuition we live and it's not only had and it's not only depressing, and the not only have a good and it's also humiliating, you know, and them, and lot of people and, and, and i know, you know, because right, and they do a lot of studies about policy and embroidery and about a lot of policy and culture. so it's culturally non, we need people and somebody comes from poland and didn't know from that and say there's no finance people and the take your land to really think and

so the humiliation that is in and that must fear. besides, all of these things you feel you will have to get rid of that to you. and as an artist, i treated it as a burden on me to work for that him because it's a very difficult him. so the bed and that i feel and the burden that everybody who deals with this kind of freedom problem of the philistine as the burden is heavy and failing. when later officer he told us that we are not allowed to print and read in black and white, he tried before that to convince us to pin flowers and nicely this and so on.

i think what i will bit in the future after we get the word freedom is flow nicely. this. do you expect to see that in your lifetime? freedom to tell you the truth. i think i was born here before the efficient for an extra and i don't know all the time. i believe until now that i was wondering before we get treated, then i'm going to thank you so much for talking county ah, football or adults and a pie in the very sports. he lost the chance to play for his country. won a legal battle south paved the way for a generation of brazilian players. footballing legend the eric counts and
