"Barca" Painting

A figurative oil painter specializing in contemporary realism with impressionist handling, I focus on the psychological depth and cultural motifs of the Middle East and North Africa.
My recent works are nurtured under the guidance of a long-standing mentor whose career has been shaped under the patronage of Abu Dhabi’s culture at Al Qattara Arts Center. His vision of figurative art-recognized in exhibitions across the region and through works auctioned at Sotheby’s-has profoundly shaped my own. We share a belief that figurative painting remains one of the most eloquent vehicles for human expression, capable of bridging tradition with the modern world. By grounding my practice in this lineage, my work serves as a statement about the enduring power of classical refinement in contemporary art.
