Director Statement

For every goal in this life there is always a point to reach to, beyond that point is a reality that has been set to achieve in life, each goal begins with a dream then becomes reality for those
who follow their personal legend, this personal legend will not be achieved unless you follow it, but firstly you have to search for this legend and it may take months, maybe years to really figure it out. I always dreamed of a world that I would live in deeply with complete freedom by meeting my other self.

My intentions in art, painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and short film will develop my skills and help me to explore more about this world. There are so many hidden secrets in this life that you can discover with art and it makes you appreciate more what your eyes have not usually appreciated before. It’s all about living each moment of one’s life as if it is
valuable. With this kind of art you can record those precious moments and feelings to be remembered. It brings a smile upon you when going back to those artworks you made before, and as it is known pictures will describe a thousand more than what words would describe.

My academic experience is in graphic design. I earned a bachelor’s degree at Philadelphia University back in Jordan. During my studying at college I had the chance to develop my drawing, painting, graphic design, photography and printmaking skills.

I always felt that I lived the art. Art has a big place in my life. Everywhere I go I think about art: at home, work, school. Each artwork I do is part of me and anyone can see my personality in my artworks. The designs I make, drawings I do, or even acting on stage all show me. It reflects my thinking, opinions; it’s all about diving deep in art and feeling the moment and being part of it. I build my art by making connections to people in the outside world and that helps me to see what is out there so I may express my emotions in my art. When working with photography, including the pictures I take, I feel alive. This feeling is what keeps me going.
With art it’s something from the inside and sometimes hard to explain, but it makes me happy and puts a smile on my face when I’m taking a photo or doing a piece of art. With each work of art
you have to touch the untouchable. For every work of art you have to start your imagination by building a picture in your mind. The moment a work of art comes out to reality it becomes bigger
by combining different styles of art.

On the stage of theater there’s a spacious environment at which you can bring out what’s in you; emotions, hand signs, facial expressions, and body language are the strongest art forms
that allow me to express myself as well as my art in an easy, understandable pattern. Through an interesting journey with the human face that has been discontinued till now, I found myself
coming back to the square of abstraction that I belong to as a painter, holding all of the anguish of painting and color playing, giving my shapes a rough surface that keeps me in touch with my
beloved faces. It is a journey that beholds me with no previous classification or particular style for a long time. It overwhelms my heart with joy, the joy of painting.
