Zaman Jassim (Saudi Arabia, b. 1971) is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist known for blending traditional motifs with modern expressions. His practice incorporates calligraphy, poetic language, and mixed media to explore memory, spiritual reflection, and cultural identity.

Jassim’s visual language is marked by a sensitivity to rhythm and symbolism, often drawing inspiration from the metaphysical and the lyrical. He has exhibited across the Gulf and internationally, contributing to the evolution of contemporary Saudi art.

Through a process-oriented approach, Jassim’s work weaves emotion, time, and heritage into intimate, experiential narratives that speak to both personal and collective memory.
