My studies in sculpture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts as well as the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs of Paris influenced my artistic search and focused my wanderings in world culture.

Now living in Athens, I study the Arabic language and Culture.

My works has been shown in several personal and group exhibitions including my participation at the XIIe Biennale of Paris and lately my solo exhibition at the Benaki Museum of Islamic Art in Athens.

In my latest work “Al Khatt, the magic script”, I’m exploring calligraphy as a visual element, but moslty as a protective and curative talisman.
