My name is Shams, I’m 22 years old. I’m half Jordanian half Iraqi. I study architecture. I started painting in 2017, using art as a form of therapy. Since that time I discovered my passion and love for art and how it can heal my soul so I kept on painting. I want to use my art to raise awareness on mental health issues and help other people who are struggling with mental illnesses. I mostly use bright, vivid colors in my paintings so I can give people a feeling of hope and positivity through my art. I strive to become a successful, participate in many exhibitions and share my message with the world.
