My work draws its bold sense of individualism and vivid use of color from the rich cultural experiences I’ve had throughout my life. I was born to Lebanese parents, raised in Caracas-Venezuela and have lived in the US since the age of 15. These cultures are steeped in traditions that have influenced my perspective and approach to my art in an abstract contemporary style.

As an artist, I have the need to constantly explore and evolve in all aspects of my life and my creative process. I love experimenting with new techniques, mediums and surfaces. This sense of evolution is visually represented in my work through the use of color, line, shape, texture and space. A carefully choreographed illusion of color in motion, creating a sense of movement and transformation through organic fluidity and/or optical geometric compositions, allowing the viewer to have their own individual experience and interpretation of each piece.

I also find myself captivated by the process itself. Painting on acrylic, not only does it allow me to capture pure, bold color in a very graphic way, but by virtue of the process, I literally paint backwards so it is impossible to truly see the whole picture until I’m completely finished. This fuels me with anticipation to reveal my final work. I have also learned to appreciate the precision that this type of painting has required me to practice. It forces me to meticulously think of the placement of every color and shape. Once a color is painted onto the surface, it is nearly impossible to correct mistakes. Thus, the journey of this process is just as exciting as reaching the destination.
