I was born in Damascus, Syria, and lived there until I was 28 when I had to move to Beirut, Lebanon to escape the civil war. But in 2017 I was able to relocate to Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.

I’m an artist, graphic designer, writer, and a qualified architect (with a bachelor’s degree from the International University for Science & Technology-2010 ) and specialize in urban planning and sustainable reconstruction( Diploma-Tahdir for Syria-Lund University-2017).

​

I’ve collaborated on various world-class projects and won international awards in Europe and the Middle East for my work.

But I’ve also been painting since I was a child. At university, I always found time to do my own graphic design work and attended extra classes to take it to a professional level. More recently I’ve been studying character design and comic art and finally, in 2017, my first graphic novel “The Cage” was published in Lebanon.

My artistic style is monochrome: a kind of dark art in black and white.

I play with color sometimes but always seem to come back to black and white. I’m also passionate about stop-motion animation and I’m increasingly experimenting with this art form.

Most of my time is spent on all the things I love: architecture, art, graphics, stop-motion animation, and design in general.
