The Deer — mural by Suhaib Attar in Amman

The beginning

The Deer

Among Suhaib’s earliest public works, The Deer marked the start of a practice devoted to large-scale walls — where a single façade could shift how people felt about a corner they thought they already knew.

What began as independent murals across Amman evolved into one of Jordan’s most recognizable public art movements, bringing narrative painting into everyday streets and neighborhoods.

Public initiative

Open Air Street Art Museum

Launched in 2015 in Hashmi Al-Shamali, the Open Air Street Art Museum transformed an entire neighborhood into a public art experience through large-scale murals created by local and international artists.

The initiative introduced art directly into the rhythm of daily life — turning walls into cultural landmarks and visual storytelling pieces accessible to everyone.

Humanitarian work

Beyond the Wall

Beyond large-scale public murals, Suhaib Attar has collaborated on community and humanitarian initiatives across Jordan — using public art as a tool for visibility, storytelling, and human connection.

Through projects developed alongside local communities, refugee camps, and NGOs, his work has explored resilience, identity, displacement, and collective memory within public space.
