My name is Husein Bastouni and I study animation at the Kunsthochschule Kassel. I grew up on the outskirts of the Syrian capital Damascus and from an early age, I was fascinated by art and drew a lot, especially the cartoons I liked back then.
Due to the war, in 2014 I had to leave my home country and have been living in Germany since 2015. Here I continued my educational career and have been enrolled at the University of Kassel since 2020. Over the years I have developed a fascination for animation, as it is a combination of illustration and moving images, with no limits to the imagination.
One of the things I deal with in my work is my past, where the focus is often on the topics of war and fleeing.
