In the early '80s, the El Shaer brothers set out to share their passion for art and creativity through collecting. In 1985, the brothers had successfully launched Elshaer Art Gallery in Damascus, a city experiencing major cultural movements in that era. The gallery's mission was to exhibit pioneering artists and support young artists, acting as a catalyst for paving and shaping many of their art careers. Currently residing in Kuwait, the brothers have developed close relationships with well-renowned artists, including Fateh Moudarres, Nazeer Nabaa, Naseer Chaura, and many more. The brothers have continued expanding their art collections through the years, which currently includes a diverse list of artists, spanning multiple geographies from the Middle East to Europe and Asia.
