"Ismail Samsom studied at the Emir Abdelkader Lyceum , where he done his Secondary studies... during one of his voyages to France, in 1957, ,he was a victim of a lost bullet in Paris , that provoked the paralysis of his inferior members...following a long hospitalization , his passion for drawing and painting blossomed and after his return to Alger he became a founding member of the National Union of Plastic Arts and the Algerian Association of Applied Arts...  he made his first exhibition in 1968 and soon he was a famous Artist in the Algerian Art Panorama...
As an homage to the Artist, the Algerian Post  issued in 1996 a 2 stamp series with illustration of two of his Paintings...
