Josef Jawed Valentin is an artist based in Stockholm. Originally from Afghanistan, Josef moved to Sweden at the age of 12. His art is deeply influenced by his commitment to human rights, with a particular focus on children and women's issues, inspired by his observations in his homeland. Through his oil paintings, Josef highlights injustices with suggestive expression, skilled technique, and meticulous detail. His precise brushwork and ability to capture complex emotions and situations turn each piece into a compelling narrative.

The exhibition "Deprived of Freedom" that was exhibited at WAY gallery Sthlm portrayed the struggle for freedom, with a focus on women's voices and experiences. Through his works, which frequently explore themes of freedom and oppression, Josef invites viewers to reflect on various forms of deprivation of freedom—ranging from physical barriers to psychological and cultural constraints.

WAY gallery Sthlm is proud to showcase the art of Josef Valentin Jawed and highlight his tireless work towards a more fair and humane world.
