My latest work from the Cairo exhibition

These are 4 works that I showed at the Atelier Cairo in July. The third one "Noon" which looks like a pyramid intersecting with a crescent is a continuation of the Serenity series that I created for my Tripoli solo exhibition last year.

Latest works of art?

Sorry about the misleading title guys! Ever since i've returned from Libya I've not been able to produce a single sketch, let alone a finished piece of work.

The Egyptian Dream

For decades, Beirut had been the capital of publishing, the... Sign in to see full entry.

Conspiracy Theory

I have to keep this short guys, it's been a week since my not-so-triumphant return. The Latakia- blues are getting to me and I can't seem to get my act together.
