| I was born
in 1981 in Baghdad, Iraq. I Came to America in 1989. I have
2 younger sisters.
I've been
involved in the fine arts at an early age. All throughout
high school, my artistic skill started to develop into
something more personal. After leaving high school I
attended Oakton Community College and then later Loyola
University Chicago. I Graduated from Loyola in summer of
2003 with a Bachelor in General and Integrative Studies (BGIS)
with a concentration in the fine arts.
My drawings
and paintings involve Assyria in a social, religious and
political point of view. I create artwork that covers all
three areas. These motives are driven by everyday
experiences.
Ideas that
don’t provoke society have little or no need for a presence
within the artistic intellect. You come closer to ideas that
spark the intellect. |
