Statement
Ever since I was a child, I used art to express my emotions. I discovered my passion for painting when I was 15.
My art celebrates the spirit of the cultural diversity, it tells stories about my two homlands, Syria and the United States.
I build bridges using the power of visual language, bridges that surpass cultural boundaries to take the viewers overseas from the US to the Middle East so they hear the music of Oud, smell the roasted coffee with cardamom, see the wonderful architecture and meet the hospitable people there.
