Art
Growing up in a family of artists ( painters, writers and musicians ) helped me learn and discover art at an early age, I’ve always had the space and tools to express my self and always believed in Allah, peace & love …
Winning the 2nd prize in a U.N international Art Exhibition at the of 10 gave me the push and encouragement I needed to keep squeezing that brain for more … More color, more texture and more emotions.
As I matured with time and with all the events in the world around me my art started gaining mass and forming shape. With so much to express I am always looking for new tools and techniques.
My techniques are a mix of my paintings, photography, illustrations, textures, photoshop layer art and 3d.
Now that I have the power of the Nu-digital age in my hand my art is projecting my thoughts, experiences, dreams, hopes and imagination.
Design
Lots of Sketchbooks and notes, this is how I start my design process after that I always do my research and brain storming.
After 10 years experience in design, advertising and media I learned how to be organized and look for the little thing that creates a spark and sends a clear message to the targeted audience using the right media.
I like an identity that makes me smile, seeing movement in a still image, Slick prints, Animation that lifts eyebrows and smart simplicity.
Photography
A snapshot to me is being in the right place at the right time. Opening my eyes to the unnoticeable, feeling my environment and keeping my hands still.
Living all my life on an island I’ve grown to love the beach, that orange sunset, old textures and the silent desert. All those things are snapshots and moments of my life.
Music
My music is from the heart it’s a big part of my daily life. It’s in my car, while working, chilling out with friends and all the crazy parties.
Creating percussions, beats, loops, bass lines and sampling speeches, old tracks and classical Arabic vocals with & my love for techno and progressive this is my music production.
Nothing can be compared to the moment that I connect with a crowd of people that I don’t know and we all get lifted to a higher state of conciseness.
“For the love of music”
