I was born in the Middle East and traveled to Britain to settle and have been living here for the past 25 years. Having lived in the east and west of this world for equal times I feel I have mixed the magic of the Middle East from thousands of years of historic art with the sophisticated tones, colours and new subjects of western art. Although I found many similarities with art between my two cultures I have lived I found my self attracted to the more changing cycles and genres of art here in Europe. Though I am still very connected to the geometric architectural repeated patterns of many middle eastern artists using bold and bright colours, I have experienced many phases of my life dedicated to figurative and sculptural art but I realized now I want to be free.

I regard myself as a sensitive person to nature, I love the remaining beauty of untouched parts of the world but I find it a necessity to include the effect of humans on nature and for every painting of beauty, one of the ugly side of humanity emerges. For me my art is open and I find with each new place I travel to, my love for art changes and more importantly grows.
