Tammam Azzam is a Syrian-born artist who created stirring digital composites using images of the Syrian War and classic masterpieces. In his words, "the Syrian Museum series incorporates iconic subjects from the greatest European masters, paralleling the greatest achievements of humanity with the destruction it is also capable of inflicting." He also notes that the use of masterpieces is to demonstrates that Syria has world-class museums, and the regime is presently killing its own cultural heritage."
