Zohdy Qadry (born in 1972) is a Palestinian plastic artist. Zohdy Qadry was born in 1972 in Nahf in the Western Galilee. He studied at The Academy for Art and Industry in St. Petersburg, Russia in the 1990s[1] where he also completed a master's degree in wall paintings. He worked in St. Petersburg for several years and returned home in 2004.
Qadry's work relates directly to Palestinian history and he is considered as a plastic artist who brings Palestinians’ socio-historical issues into the art field via modern and simple painting.
The infrastructure of Qadry's plastic art was made by pairing the Palestinian experience with the Russian art legacy as practiced at the Mochina institute.Qadry's work has far-reaching contexts – a result of his life path and his time in Russia – and combines a Palestinian-Russian modern style of art.
