I was born & raised in Cairo, Egypt.
I believe that each one has a mission in life he should accomplish with what he's good at & what he has to offer to the world. Only then he can have an impact, truly exist, & develop as a human being. Art is my passion, so expressing myself through art enables me to accomplish my mission in this world.
In my work I am influenced by human beings; their minds, feelings, imagination & most intimate moments. We are all the same; when we interact with life we all feel things that trigger certain images in our minds. I try to capture on canvas those images through my own perspective. I try to depict those innermost & repressed images our subconscious is constantly sending us. This part of our mind, we are not fully aware of, has huge influence on our existence.
I believe if I can bring those images to live, people will get to see what they usually don't see. They might relate with those images as human beings, because they have certainly felt them throughout their life. I am aiming to make an intense impact on people by making them see what they can only feel.
I am trying to capture the essence of human beings. So being exposed to different aspects of life is essential in my work process. Becaus...

After my graduation with a BA in Arts from the American University in Cairo, I was constantly looking forward to being a part of opportunities that fulfills my art passion. After participating in many art related workshops, internships & courses I decided to continue my postgraduate studies in Arts. So I went for the MA program in "Visual Arts & Curatorial Studies" in the New Academy of Fine Arts in Milano, Italy.
