I became influenced by ancient inscriptions and drawings discovered on old basalt volcanic stones in the Jordanian Desert 1000 B.C. The graffiti on these stones contain drawings of animals, hunting or battle scenes, and provide an insight into the emotions and concerns of the people who carved them. I created my own contemporary painting based on these mysterious, beautiful relics and the beautiful nature in Europ. In doing this, I used defferent matriels like oil,Acrylic and mixed media to apply texture on the surfus of the canvas, like I wanted to give a life into the objects again and to simulate the texture of rocks. Since I live in Europe, European Art History, culture in the middle and imagery had a strong influence in my creations.
