About the creator
- I am an award-winning, self-taught realism artist and interior designer based in Dubai, UAE. In my paintings, I capture the finest details of life's particular moments. My art aims to remind others of precious details they may have forgotten and to give a voice to those who aren't heard. Through each artwork, I express my dedication to human and animal rights, using the voice of art to reach out, inspire, and tell the stories of others, such as endangered animal species, crimes against wildlife, and the refugee cause.
