Salma Ahmad Caller was born in Iraq to an Egyptian father and a British mother and grew up in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. She now lives in the UK. An artist, art historian, and writer, a hybrid of cultures and faiths she is drawn to hybrid and ornamental forms, and how the body expresses itself in the mind to create an embodied ‘image’.
