Arthur Omar works in all visual fields including photography and cinema.
Arthur Omar concentrates totally on the face, scanning its surface for his subjects’ emotions, for signs of life and death in their eyes, for the ridiculous and the painful.
The painted portrait was a "bourgeois" affair; these photographs succeed in going deep into the hidden privacy of each individual, but in each case bringing forth its involuntarily yielded secret as a way of seeing I would term "democratic".

A crowd of 600 Afghan clerics gathered in front of an historic mosque yesterday to strip the fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar of his claim to religious authority, in a ceremony that provided a significant boost to the presidency of Hamid Karzai.
The declaration, signed by 1,000 clerics from across the country, is an endorsement of the US-backed programme of reconciliation with more moderate elements of the Taliban movement that Karzai has been pursuing ahead of the country's first parliamentary elections, due in September.
Until the US-led invasion in late 2001 toppled the regime led by Mullah Omar, anyone found listening to music faced a brutal beating and incarceration.
