Abdul Latif's work successfully resolves the challenge that faces many Arab artists: it captures the beauty of a rich and colourful heritage, but is not restricted by its conventions.
He is deeply inspired by ancient Arab mosaics and architecture, which he portrays in a refreshingly contemporary way.
Besides being both spiritual and sensual, his work has a rhythmic musical quality.
A trained graphic designer, Abdul Latif is as much influenced by modern trends in art and design, as he is by the colourful history and heritage of his native Syria.

Calligraphic script, as well as abundant geometric shapes, often cover his large canvasses in abstract patterns that are interrupted only by the painting's border.
