I grew up surrounded by conflict, living through the Lebanese Civil War and later witnessing the ripple effects of instability across the region, including the Syrian conflict and its wider consequences.
These experiences were not distant events—they shaped daily life, perception, and survival.
Alongside this, I experienced poverty and trauma that left lasting emotional imprints. Art became a way to process what could not always be spoken.
Painting in oil and acrylic became both refuge and language—allowing me to express memory, loss, resilience, and the complexity of human endurance.
Over time, I continued to develop my practice and exhibit internationally, carrying these experiences not as limitations, but as the foundation of my artistic voice.
