Syed Hasan Abbas
An artist based in Bergen, Norway.
Hi! You can call me Hasan.
I am a visual storyteller/designer/artist.
I hold a diverse background in education and work experience which helps me deliver creative and engaging visual storytelling and design solutions for my clients and independent projects.
I also practice experimental art where I primarily use animation, illustrations, and storytelling to explore the beauty within the darkness of human nature.
I am currently working on several experimental art projects at Bergen Designinkubator.
