An Egyptian artist who graduated as an Architect.
At a very young age, I fell in love with art, and I’ll forever be grateful for having a family who noticed this great passion and made sure to nurture it as I grew up.
Growing up in Cairo, the capital of Islamic culture has influenced my art direction. I’ve always been fascinated by Arabic calligraphy all over the walls of mosques, graveyards, schools, libraries and monuments; it's decorative art on its own that has a very strong stopping power to the human eye.
My academic journey in Architecture gave me the opportunity to study the History of Islamic Architecture, Interior Design, as well as basic techniques of visual arts, such as painting, color mixing, and various theoretical courses, all of which helped me put together the peices which are now injecting life into my passion and bringing it to a tangible form called "Art".
