An artist as much as a researcher, Sy Hassan owes his passion for handloomed figured weaves to his father, a prominent silk Master-weaver. This familial inheritance, combined with his taste for drawing and his love of old techniques, led him to dedicate his life to the study and preservation of the Arabo-Andalusian handweaving techniques, to which we owe some of the most beautiful fabrics ever woven in the Islamic world.
