Artist profile

I am an Emergency Medicine Fellow here in Qatar. From a very young age, I have always loved nature and playing with colors. Earlier in life, I was deeply occupied with studies and chasing goals, and I never imagined I would come this far in art. It all began with a small painting that I sold. What motivated me wasn’t the fact that it was sold, but the fact that it was loved enough for someone to want to own it. Since then, painting has become an important part of my life. Despite my busy schedule as a doctor, I paint often and have created more than 50 paintings since last year. I paint on my days off, on my difficult days, and on my happy days. Each time, it brings me light and peace. What started merely as a hobby has now become something I truly live in.
