When did you decide that art was part of you and your life?

The first to have discovered my talents are my parents, then my mother bought me a box of paint. It worked. Then I was entrusted to one of the most famous woman artist in Saoudi Arabia Mounira Almousily at the age of 13 and I took a few courses with her. Since then, Art became a part of me, of my mind and soul.

In my art studio lateley, before it was complicated painting in many parts of the house, now, I just enjoy working.

why

For love and with love

Why do you think art is important in our society?

Art is the expression of the artist vision, it reflects who he is, what he sees, what he feels and express about himself, others, environment, planet and so on. It’s a capture of his soul and mind in the society in a very specific moment. Art is the voice and expression of the Artist, a kind of a testimony on the era. The Artist is an historian in a certain manner .
