Sliman Mansour

Sliman Mansour (also Suleiman or Suliman; Arabic: سليمان منصور; 27 July 1947 – 24 August 2026) was a Palestinian painter, sculptor, author, and cartoonist, considered a leading figure among contemporary Palestinian artists. He was considered an artist of intifada whose work captured the cultural concept of sumud. His paintings, which have been exhibited around the world, reflect the Palestinian struggle and include images of women in traditional clothing and Levantine tree-filled landscapes. In 1987, he was part of the New Visions collective that boycotted Israeli supplies and instead used local natural Palestinian materials. Palestinian artist and scholar Samia Halaby has identified Mansour as part of the Liberation Art Movement and cited his important work as an artist and cultural practitioner before and after the First Intifada.
