Artistic vision
I find myself only as a committed Palestinian artist who lives the emotional and human state of our Palestinian people and their just historical causes.
That is why you find me fused with all my conscience and feelings on the surface of the painting, embodying through my brush and colors the bright glimmer of hope for a new day and a tomorrow in which victory and return are achieved.
Despite the pain and wounds experienced by the Palestinian people, I work to embody the human and aesthetic spirit in my works, because it resides in my conscience, it is rooted and extended in our Palestinian life over thousands of years, and I try to convey it to the world through my artwork.
The Palestinian woman in my works is a symbol of life that extends from ancient times to the present day, with what she carries of human and aesthetic characteristics through her embroidered dress filled with Palestinian symbols rooted and successive over thousands of years.
I distribute my colors with my own poetic touches, placing them across the spaces of the buildings that extend endlessly in the Palestinian horizon.
My colors blend harmoniously with the spaces and domes to give an aesthetic and human dimension to this land.
