As a youth in Iraq, Thamer watched the walls of old houses and read them as accumulations of love and war and revolt and revolution.  That experience is the foundation of his current body of work.  "I set up the surface of the painting like a wall, and then I draw symbols and pictures out of my dreams and emotions … Then I leave some of the secrets on the surface of the painting" Khalid Thamer
