Notes
Born in Sudan, North Africa, Salim took refuge in the United Kingdom, Germany, Egypt, and South Africa, because of a tumultuous political and economic period, in his homeland. After artistic training at Khartoum University, he attained his master's degree in Fine Art at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. His artwork, characterised by its abstraction in lively colours and patterns, explores themes of diaspora and living amongst multicultural communities. He has exhibited extensively overseas along with acclaimed local galleries.
