ARTIST STATEMENT
As a Lebanese artist, I draw inspiration for my paintings and sculptures from both my personal life experiences and the environment and nature around me. Through my art work, I strive to capture the beauty, complexity, and diversity of the world we live in, using a range of mixed media to bring my vision to life.
Whether I am working with paint, clay, or found objects, my goal is to create art that evokes a sense of connection and understanding between my viewers and the world around us.
As an artist, I am constantly exploring new techniques, materials, and ideas, and I am always eager to push the boundaries of what is possible in my art. Through my work, I hope to connect with people from all walks of life, to share my love of art, and to inspire others to create and to celebrate the diversity and resilience of our shared human experience.
