About

Born in Beirut, Lebanon, I was brought up with a freedom to think and express myself, quite revolutionary for our society in those days.

Survived 3 major wars, one of which was a civil war that lasted 17 years and left an immense impact on my personality and my search for inner peace and evolution.

As a child, I always sketched, drew and even painted on my bedroom walls. However, I started painting “seriously” about 13 years ago.
I can say that I am mainly self taught, though, attended Saturdays painting classes regularly with a fantastic teacher/mentor, that I can never thank enough; Mr Antoine Alalam.

I paint when I am happy and joyful.
Painting is a joyous journey for me, a way to remember that there is a Beyond when we go within.
It is my method of connecting to the Universe.
My suffering is when I lose this connection, this remembrance, this way of BEING (story of my life really..!)

I am mainly inspired by humans and human emotions. For me, each one of us is a Universe by itself.

I am a kindergarten teacher by day and an artist the remaining of the time.
As I like to say: Teaching is my vocation, Painting is my passion.
