Expressive.

Bold.

Concept-driven.

I am a visual mythmaker and contemporary iconographer. Painting the ghost behind the image — in radiant color and fractured light. Faces you may know — until the surface cracks. Icons. Antiheroes. Outsiders. Legends with edges.

My materials don’t whisper. They shine, scrape, distort. Acrylic, charcoal, oil, gloss and metallics aren’t just tools — they’re part of the story. What you see depends on where you stand. And that’s the point.

I started painting in 2024. Late? Maybe. But also: exactly on time. Primarily self-taught — I see the studio as a space for ongoing experiment, where visual language evolves through practice, intuition, and friction.

My background in Middle Eastern studies - chasing stories that hide beyond worlds - combined with years of living and working across the region and Africa, influences how I read and construct images — not just as pictures, but as layered stories open to reinterpretation.

My work reframes what culture mythologizes — and what it prefers to forget. These portraits don’t flatter. They glare back.
