Born in 1974, Safa Al Set studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Damascus University and graduated in 1997. She briefly experienced with multi-media graphic design, then decided to start her own artistic career, working with metal, using steel and copper as a means to create original art pieces, which stand out for their rough texture and design. She has brilliantly succeeded, repetititevely, in bringing metal to life; she is able to transform the hard nature of the metal into art that is alive and flowing. Safa Al Set plays with fire. In her Damascus studio, the lively artist heats and melds scrap pieces of iron and copper to form giant sculptures.
