Biography
Self-taught visual artist ,currently living and working in Tunisia, Germany and France .
After studying marine I started working as an officer on ships around the world.I was always attracted by the sea .After my shift I was often in my cabin painting on old charts.
My travels gave me enough free time allowed to my artistic practice.
I started in 1986 to show my work in several places in Tunis .My artwoks were for a short period figurative becoming abstract later.
Currently in the same time as painting I'm working at wooden , metal ,acryl sculptures in mixed
technics , also produces sound and video installations dealing with the human voice and articulations of words in different languages confronting and accumulatingdifferent sounds in a new shape.
Apart from the exhibitions that I made in Tunisia, I have also shown my work in November 2005 at
Ecart gallery in Osnabruck and in June 2007 at Dominikanerkirche Kunsthalle in Osnabruck, then
