I am a self-taught artist. I grew up in Cairo, Egypt and moved to Melbourne in my mid-thirties. I am fascinated with abstract art, the way a harmonious combination of color tones can stir up emotions, thoughts, and memories when you look at it, or just gives you a sense of peace and beauty. Nature is my biggest inspiration - I love flowers, forests, seascapes, and cosmic images. I like to play with different types of colors and mediums, but most of my recent work is in acrylic colors which are very practical and durable.
