Nabil Anani (Arabic: نبيل عناني; born 1943) is a Palestinian visual artist.
[2][3] After his graduation in 1969, from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Alexandria University,[4] Anani returned to Palestine to start his career as an artist and trainer at the UN training college in Ramallah.
In 1987, the New Visions art group was founded by Anani, Vera Tamari, Tayseer Barakat, and Sliman Mansour.
He was appointed in 1998 as the head of the League of Palestinian Artists and was a key player in establishing the first International Academy of Art in Palestine.
[6] Because his art was an expression of collective identity it encountered the military censorship of Israeli authorities, the combined use of four colors of the Palestinian flag was prohibited and he, together with the other members of the league, was subjected to arrest and interrogation.
