"The Arab Islamic artistic heritage is considered one of the richest resources of many artists from the Arab and Muslim worlds, for it is deeply rooted in their repository of memories. The impact of this heritage on contemporary artworks and the way in which it is expressed differs from one artist to another, but no artist can totally escape its influence as it is intimately tied to our environment, social realities and beliefs. Furthermore, this heritage provides the artist with a variety of possibilities to express temporal and spatial dimensions, as well as stillness and movement.
I seek not to present technicalexpressions of this heritage, but to honor it, give it the value it deserves,and expose it to present and future generations.
art to me is a special private language which reflects the cumulative memories of the artist and the interaction of his conscious and subconscious. The artist usesthese feelings to express himself and to communicatw, usingvisual styles and techniques which sometimes can astonish even himself,for each work of art is a somewhat unknown journey. I believe that the artist is often ahead of his time, and that agenuine artwork embodies within itself the past, the present and the future. this is one of the reasonswhy the works of many artists were not recognized and appreciated during their lifetime".
