ART for LIFE
HOME      THE ARTIST BIO      Artist statement
 
 I make images that are vibrant in color, and abstract in nature...  color is the  language that I use to express my feelings and my thoughts being born in the Mediterranean specificallyTunisia influenced me a lot when it comes to using colors, I believe that  colors is a universal language therefore i want to reach out and engage with much larger audiences .
 The colors I choose create mood, atmosphere, and a vibration of energy unique to each viewer  and take them to their own special vision and imagination.
the creative process involves imagination and getting in touch with the subconscious. My one clear aim is to use colors and shapes and to apply the paint in a passionate way which comes out of me as positive creative energy. so therefore painting allows me to look at subject matter that is simple in nature and bears some beauty. In my painting  I walk the line between representation and abstraction within the same frame. Abstracted images encourage direct experience and invite emotional identification with the suggestion of imagined terrain.
The things that inspire me to create are found all around me whether landscapes ,cityscape,figures.. and The inspiration found in nature for my art seems endless. Beauty is everywhere and as an artist I try to use colors to interpret that beauty, trying to integrate my personal style, and put it out there for people to connect with.
The combination of various mediums and materials I enjoy working with are acrylic,oil,glue,sand, charcoal,pigments,pastels,collages... and My method of layering symbolizes change, time, and growth. Because of multi-layering, the paintings become an ongoing experience for the viewer. This also integrates my idea of trying to notice things in nature that some may overlook, or take for granted.  
 My style involves contrasting aspects of the simplicity of daily life to the complexity of the human condition. Hopefully my work elicits emotional responses and vividly expresses my passion for art and life.
My work is intuitive, it always remains true to expressing raw emotion, primal sensuality and spontaneous creativity. I am very grateful that I have found painting as a means of self expression and to know that the process of learning never stops.
