Bio

I began drawing years ago as a hobby, eventually transitioning from isolated sketches in notebooks to cohesive pieces on single sheets. Fascinated by modern and abstract art, particularly Suprematism and Neoplasticism, my work reflects basic geometric forms and abstraction, initially dominated by blue and white but evolving into vibrant expressions. Inspired by Suprematist and Neoplasticist artists like Malevich and Mondrian, as well as Andalusian tile designs, my creations blend two realities: my professional use of graphics and vectors, and my Andalusian heritage. Using pen and cardboard, I aim for immediacy and simplicity in expressing abstract concepts through repetition of lines and curves, infused with an Arabic soul. Beyond pure art, I collaborate with ceramic and interior design companies to create innovative collections, blending culture and aesthetics. COVID prompted a shift towards prioritizing my artistic career, participating in modern art fairs and exhibits globally.
