My works are like a mosaic painting whose colored pieces are carefully paved to adorn smooth surfaces. They form various designs that symbolize artistic values in effective ways. In their entirety, they represent human, animal, plant or architectural paintings, and the symbols of hope and love are present through the human relations between the characters of the paintings. On the other hand, my paintings are filled with heritage vocabulary, as the costumes and the houses stacked in some of the paintings seem as flashes of popular memory (I think it was inherited from the tales of my grandparents that I heard since childhood).
As for the use of camouflaged symbols inside the drawing sometimes, it represents an innovation for contemporary artistic formulations, as it involves aesthetic formations. It is worth mentioning that working on earthy colors saturated with light to paint artistic landscapes rich in small and large details makes the paintings belong, in my view, between the expressive school and impressionism used. Most of them are acrylic colors on the canvases. In some other paintings, I also used different materials and backgrounds such as larch papers and other materials that I felt the need to use during my work with the paintings.
I also use the augmented reality (AR) in all my painting it is new technology allows artists to create new dimensions of art by linking classical with digital art which is I think the one of the new gates to future .
