| About the Artist |
My process of creating art is initiated with careful thought and sensitivity about texture, balance, color and a delicate spontaneous sense. Art is a part of my life that helps me to express my ideas loudly.
My special interest in painting Arabic horses sprang from a desire to surround myself with their environment by collecting their images, doing a physical & biological study about them, focusing on their beauty and certainly incorporating them in my art. I want to be the artist whose name is always related to the Arabic horse. I made the horse as injured, a messenger and a hero – all with a technical and excellence colors combination. I proved my expertise in different techniques, using various materials and covering more than one subject with high senses and emotions.
My creativity comes from what I see all around me & how I feel about it. Sometimes ideas just come to mind and I have no purpose or reason but for the joy of making art.
