Born in Damascus Syria. Ever since I was very young I used to draw evrything I saw infront of me, and for many years my drawing were in pencil and charcol/ Black and white/ that gave me an excellent background on light and shade that made me discover the difference between colors themselves and the shade of each one. I studied art privately and taught my self by reading books and practicing many different styles among them realism, impressionism, expressionism,and abstract. I love paint in oil painting because it reflect the colors of life.
