Biography

I started learning how to draw and paint when I was 6. Till 18, attending courses was my only way to improve. After that, something new happened: I had to stop taking art classes and I found myself confronting art alone. I had no one to tell me what to do, if it was good or bad. I had to find what my true artistic goals were from within. And then, the new adventure began.

Today, I’m pursuing my masters in architecture at USEK – Lebanon after receiving my bachelor degree last year. On a side note, I’m working on finding a link between architecture and art that is as worthy as I need it to be.
I was part of theology classes at USJ – Lebanon, and I’m attending theology courses with the Marial Apostolic Movement MAM. I’m also teaching catechism at SSCC Kfarhbab – Lebanon.
I have my own art classes in Ghadir Jounieh. Approximately 15 students are currently taking the risk to participate in a 22 years old teacher’s class. I believe they know what are the goals I’m focusing on in their classes: to have fun, to be proud of their works, and to put their freedom and ideas first.
I made some solo and group exhibitions and shared my work on some online platforms. Today, I’m not in doubt anymore, I want to trace my own path in art.

If I’m stating this, it’s because I know that my art involves nothing but freedom, that it is generated by what I love the most in life: Children, theology, life’s philosophy, teaching, learning, always learning, not to know more, but to appreciate life.
