Born in Beirut, the Lebanese capital, in 1972. Arriving in France as a 7-year-old refugee from an enduring war, he found solace in the street art and graffiti of the 80s. This marked the beginning of his artistic journey, a gateway to a realm of infinite possibilities and dreams.
A story from a time when artistic expressions were still made in the eyes of the world, in a place where all human movement originally takes shape: the street. The mythical wasteland of La Chapelle witnessed the birth of its artistic soul and a voracious desire to learn the history of art, but above all, to live it.
" My works are a vibrant blend, a harmony of various influences that will shape my journey and my guiding principles. It's not just a simple visual experience, it's also a profound voyage that captures the emotions of those ready to be transported.
Influenced by Jackson Pollock, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Dubuffet, he draws inspiration from modern art, graffiti, and Neo-Expressionism.
Through his mixed-media techniques, he invites viewers to embark on a personal emotional exploration.
Through his art, he invites viewers to experience the energy and creativity of his paintings, as they are guided by the deliberate gestures and movements of shapes and colors within a specific context.
By layering various mixed media, he creates a rich tapestry of elements, resulting in dynamic and textured compositions.
