A visual artist born in Birzeit in 1947, Sliman Mansour is one of the most prominent contemporary Palestinian artists. He contributed to developing the infrastructure for fine arts in Palestine and uses local materials in his work, such as clay, henna, and straw. His artworks have been widely exhibited in Palestine, the Arab world, Europe, Korea, Japan, and the United States. He is one of the founders of the "New Visions" group, established in 1989, whose members boycotted Israeli products and instead used local materials in the production of their works. His series "I Am Ismail" received the Grand Nile Prize at the 7th Cairo Biennale, as well as the Palestinian Award for Visual Arts, in addition to numerous local, Arab, and international awards. His painting "Camel of Hardships" is considered one of the most iconic symbolic artworks in the Arab world.

The collection displayed on the website includes a small part of a vast artistic archive that the archive project has been digitising and will be presenting gradually in stages. This collection reflects the artist’s central position as one of the leading contemporary Palestinian artists, and his influential role in the Palestinian visual art movement, as well as his relationships with fellow artists and various cultural and artistic institutions. Mansour preserved a number of postcards printed with artworks by himself and his peers, alongside photographs and documents that record his work as president of the Palestinian Artists Association, and his diverse artistic engagements in Palestine and around the world.
