Wisam Alsamad er en senior keramikk kunster opprinnelig fra Irak. Wisam er kjent for å blande tradisjonelle og moderne elementer i kunstverkene sine, med et distinkt fokus med å ha arabisk kalligrafi i leire. I Norge har han blitt mer kjent for å ha norske helleristninger i sine keramiske verk. Med over førti års erfaring, har han mottatt internasjonale priser fra kunstfestivaler og biennaler for hans bidrag til keramikkunstens verden og hans keramiske kunstverk er representert i flere museer og offentlige institusjoner internasjonalt. Hans dedikasjon til keramikk kunst førte ham til videre akademiske studier, som resulterte til en bachelorgrad i billedkunst med spesialisering i keramikk fra Kunsthøgskolen ved Universitetet i Bagdad i 1999.
