Ever since I was very young in primary school I used
to draw everything I saw in front of me, for many years
my drawings were in pencil and charcoal, black and white
that gave me an excellent background on light and shade,
and made me discover the difference between colors
themselves and the shade of each one.
I studied literature in Damascus university. After that I studied art privately, and taught myself by reading books and practicing many different styles among them realism, impressionism, expressionism and abstract.
It was then that I met with Sara Shamma famous portrait painter in Syria who gave me a lot of instruction and correction to my work. I learned from her and was inspired by her. She gave me a lot of encouragement to continue my way.
My passion in my painting is oil colors because it reflect the color of life and you can put them together and come out with astonishing mixes.
