Artist Statement

I'm a 32 years old Jordanian artist. I've been a painter since, 1993.

I have participated in group and exhibition inside & outside Jordan. Art to me is a world of it's own that I live in and experience. Art gives me a feeling of relief.

When I paint, I never plan what to paint, rather my feelings drive my brush which gets the best emotions out of me and prints an image on the canvas. Since my childhood, I painted what I saw on small pieces of paper, which included human figures in fashion wear. As I grew older, I started to paint out of my imagination and what displayed what these figures mean to me. I never thought that this would lead me to stand where I am now in a fantastic world of art.

Rai music creates a great atmosphere while I paint, it gives me a special atmosphere that helps me create something different.
