Artist Statement
My works take the artistic nature of social, cultural, and other topics such as Bahraini heritage and ancient life in Bahrain, as well as topics inspired by stories, poems or music.
I like to draw the old neighborhoods in an artistic way with a meaning to the painting so that the recipient feels it and goes in its depths and indicates his conscience and a reminder of those beautiful days that add to the added meaning of the painting. I also draw topics inspired by poems and stories that address social issues and add in my paintings the message to be communicated to the recipient, but I make a space in my paintings for the recipient to merge with the artwork to enjoy its art and presentation.
I do not specify my works or belong to a particular school, but I touch on art in different ways according to what the art itself requires in embodying the idea, meaning that I give myself the freedom to choose the appropriate method for artistic work, as I believe that the artist with wide imaginations can embody an idea in more than one way limited.
I use oil colors, acrylic colors, watercolors, pastel colors, wood colors, charcoal and other tools of fabric and paper in my work.
