Fateh Al-Moudarres was born near the city of Aleppo and lived in a rural area, amongst Arab, Kurdish and Turkmen peasants. His harsh childhood, especially after the killing of his father, had psychological effects on his behavior, his art and his literary writings. Moudarres displayed a natural talent for drawing at an early age, growing close to his art teachers Munib Naqshbandi, Ghaleb Salem and Wehbe Al Hariri who educated him and taught him the principles.
