World Art Foundation - Building a Bridge Between Artists From All Over The World

Born in 1980 in Lebanon, I graduated from the Lebanese University of Fine Arts with a certificate of excellence from the Minister of Culture. As an Art Director in Advertising, I was introduced to various visual approaches from photo montage and layout design to digital illustration.

My professional career has only served to enhance my creative pursuits and help me create a perfect balance between visual fine art creativity and the fast-spreading era of digital art. I never had a favorite medium to use. In university, I started off preferring oil painting, but as I was discovering the other forms of expression I moved to pastels and swayed over to acrylic and have been stuck there since; it is a medium that gives a powerful effect and is much faster to apply than oil-based painting. Usually, when I commence working on an artwork, I start with pencils. Later, when I have created a close image of my instantaneous inspiration, the real fun starts: with the computer. At the end I'm still on my way of discovering new ways to deliver my thoughts and I guess I'll never stop!

I'm inspired by anything, from a flying bird to a dead man, all the way to an abstract placement of objects that I glance at randomly while walking to my work place.

Recently, I would say my muse has been music, but such an element can't be decided. It's as variable as a colour spectrum.

And so it goes...
