Artist Statment

I am a contemporary artist working primarily in oil, ink, and gold leaf, blending traditional materials with symbolic figuration to explore themes of memory, identity, and emotional containment. Originally from Syria and currently based in London, my work is shaped by experiences of displacement, cultural transformation, and the tension between inner vulnerability and outer expression.
 

Much of my visual language is drawn from both scientific observation and personal narrative. Having trained in biotechnology and regenerative medicine. Recurring motifs in my practice include fragmented bodies, sacred geometry, and botanical forms; each representing cycles of transformation, healing, and the passage of time. Gold leaf features prominently in my work, not only for its reverence but for its duality: it shimmers with value while cracking under pressure.
 

My pieces invite viewers to contemplate containment and resilience—the ways in which identity is built, broken, and reimagined. Whether portraying a figure submerged in memory or bound in delicate linework, I seek to capture the silent strength in fragility, and the quiet truth beneath surface perfection.
