Location: Canada
My work is a celebration of experimentation, storytelling, and individuality. Drawing on early training in Lebanon, studies in the U.S. and Canada, and inspiration from international galleries, I explore diverse materials — from pigments and oils to plaster, poured acrylics, and mixed media. I aim to transform traditional fine art materials into innovative mixed media works, where each image carries both technique and storytelling.
Each piece is conceived as a unique creation, balancing technical skill with imaginative expression. My practice often bridges abstract realism — a balance between the recognizable and the experimental — echoing the sensitivity of Impressionism and the intensity of Expressionism, while remaining distinctly my own. I strive to transform everyday materials into fine art that is original, engaging, and reflective of my philosophy: do not copy others; create to be copied; be unique, like my life.
A meditation on rhythm and balance, where brushstrokes move like verses. Its imagery carries a spirit of revival: circles evoke the endless cycles of renewal, while tree-like forms losing their leaves and returning in spring mirror the constancy of change. Poetry reflects the hidden dreams and wishes we hold close, always shifting, fading, and reawakening — much like life itself. Mask -reflects the tension between what is shown and what is hidden, capturing the rhythm, drama, and fleeting beauty of human expression. Privacy -The dark side embodies our hidden truths, fears, and inner shadows, while the bright side reflects our hopes and dreams for a better world. In the Falling is Forming -where collapse gives rise to formation, and what falls away becomes the foundation for renewal.
The foundation of this work began with an underpainting in acrylic ink, spray paint and Rublev pigment mixed with acrylic binder. Once the first vision was expressed on canvas, I repainted over it with pigments enriched by lead white and layers of oil paint, allowing depth and luminosity to emerge. Beyond its surface, Poetry reflects our inner landscapes — the dreams of a happy life, the secret wish lists we hold close, and the hopes we strive and pray for. Through its layered process, the work mirrors the layered nature of our aspirations: concealed, evolving, and ultimately revealed in art.
“Everyone Wears One - Mask (2025)”
Built on canvas with a base of aluminum foil and plaster of Paris, layered with ink, spray paint, acrylic, and Pebeo Prisma colors, this work evokes the energy and mystery of a masquerade ball. In a contemporary abstract style, it explores identity as both performance and concealment, where masks shimmer, distort, and reveal simultaneously.
Built on a structure of plaster and cheesecloth, with heavy-body acrylics diluted using pouring medium, Privacy explores the duality of the human experience. The dark side embodies our hidden truths, fears, and inner shadows, while the bright side reflects our hopes and dreams for a better world. Flowing layers of paint blur the boundary between concealment and revelation, creating a realistic abstraction that mirrors the tension between what we hide and what we strive to express.
“In The Falling, is Forming. 2025”
Rendered in rich earth tones, this piece draws inspiration from the majestic landscapes of Sedona, Garden of the Gods, and the Armenian highlands. Built from wood shavings, plaster of Paris, and gel medium, its textures are layered with crushed eggshells and hand-ground natural pigments in linseed oil, then brought to life with oil paint enriched with lead white replacement. The work embodies the constant cycle of transformation — where collapse gives rise to formation, and what falls away becomes the foundation for renewal. Each layer reflects both the rugged beauty of nature and the evolution of our inner landscapes.
“Bringing Nature Indoors- 2023”
Built on plywood, this work employs professional heavy-body acrylics blended mostly with Pebeo pouring medium. Unlike smooth brushwork, I intentionally created a rough, textured surface, reminiscent of cracking, to capture the rugged vitality of nature. The piece embodies the excitement of exploring new countries, the sensation of breathing fresh air, and the fleeting, atmospheric impressions seen from airplane windows. Varnished for permanence, it preserves color and texture while inviting viewers to experience the exhilaration and immersive beauty of the natural world within an intimate, indoor space.
Built on plywood with molding plaster, and painted with Heavy Body Acrylic mixed with Liquitex and other pouring mediums, as well as Golden paints, this work merges structure with intimacy. The focal point is a loving heart in the bottom left, surrounded by layers of nature, day and night, and illuminated by silver metal sheets carefully applied to specific areas. Poured color fills the remaining sections. The painting embodies the essence of life: love as the foundation for growth, focus, and inspiration. It serves as a reminder to embrace meaningful moments, nurture relationships, and reconnect with positivity. Through its composition and light, the work is a reminder of how love empowers us to be our best selves and to inspire others.
“Grounding (Balanced Life) - 2022”
Created using heavy-body Liquitex acrylics and poured mediums, with layered, dynamic motion, this work embodies the tension between the mind’s restless fears and the need for stability. Its textured surface and earthy tones serve as a visual reminder that life unfolds in cycles of highs and lows, and that grounding oneself — mentally, emotionally, and physically — is essential. The imagery reflects my personal practice: creating a space to pause, breathe, and reconnect amidst life’s challenges. It is both a meditation and a guide, inviting viewers to experience the flow of life while finding moments of inner balance.
