Van Gogh began his work influenced by the Dutch Masters. He was intrigued by the Masters' power to enjoy shadow and light-weight. He also found an association inside painting of common events and/or people. For instance, The Potato Eaters captures several peasants seated for any meal. The painting is dark, yet, light radiates from the faces. Aleef?s paintings also features some glimpse of the first orientalist Italian art works. His beautiful paintings of Jerusalem also depict the approach to life and culture of resident and non-residents during his time. Most of his prominent works possess a particular significance to that particular era?s local art movement; some of his popular paintings will be the landscape paintings of various places in Jordan. During his days in Jordan, Aleef build his first studio to show art to his fellow artists. Some of his students are Mohanna Durra and Rafiq Lahham who later became a few of the celebrated artists of last century.
