Ronak Ahmad
Ronak Ahmad is a Kurdish Syrian artist from Afrin, she finished her studies in Aleppo in 2007, currently based in Jaramana in Damascus.
Ronak sculpts her artworks to commemorate people and homeland, searching for survival and salvation، yet doomed by the heavy weight of memory, she depicts a human’s trial to rebuild himself or herself from pieces.
In her words, Ronak says: “Every work is a moment of silence, an attempt to understand the trace of loss, the fragility of survival, and the human experience with oneself and the world.
The aim is to open a space for feeling and observation, where the viewer can sense the stories, memories, and movements that the material preserved beneath my hands.
My works take shape with quietness and anxiety, just as memory itself. Through them, I attempt to keep the trace of experience present, even after the viewer looks away.
This is a continuation of an open path of searching and expression, where the body, material, and memory meet in an ongoing dialogue with the world.”
Ronak participated in numerous group exhibitions all over Syria between 2000 and 2025: in Aleppo, Damascus, Kameshli, Sweida, Mesiaf, Tabka, and Salamieh to name a few.
