Unconditional Understanding, 36x48 Oil on Canvas.

Perception of Reality, 18x24 Acrylic on Canvas.

Everything that we perceive as reality once it was nothing more that vague, complex, ambiguous and abstract concepts in which objectiveness played an insignificant role and subjectivity was the engine that revolved the consciousness and transformed the nothingness into something. The reality starts with a thought, a belief, and a summation that only exist in our imagination, it is a reflection caused by the subconscious mind. Then, it gradually takes the form of concrete ideas. It keeps progressing to reach the stage of experimentations, in this stage it might fail numerous of time. It might even go back to the beginning to find its destined trail. And finally, after so many miscarriages, the conscious mind accepts it as real, tangible and perceptible. The subconscious mind possesses the mysteries and secret of our existence and can transform abstraction into reality. What we see outside the frame might be uncertain and indeterminate; yet, to make it real, we just have to believe is real and that reality will transform the way we interact with the entire universe.

"I Had A Dream" 30x36 Color Pastel, Digital Fixed. 2011

It's Been 5 decades since an extraordinary philanthropist, humble and brave, stood up for human dignity for the equitable rights among his people. Martin Luther King and his fellow political leader, Rosa Park, Malcon X and others condemned the oppression, discrimination, subordination and segregation to which their loved brothers and sisters were been submerged into in 1960's and 1970's.

Martin Luther King, as a great humanist and as a man of God never lost faith in his vision that one day black children and white children will play together without prejudice, neither abhorrence, nor resentment. he believed that all men were created equal and that all men should live together in peace and harmony.

In 2009, after 50 years of Martin Luther King assassination, Barack Obama was elected as the president of United Stated of the America, turning Marting Luther King's dream into reality.

Today, if the courageous preacher, who sacrificed his own life for the sake of his people, will still alive, probably will utter " I Had a Dream".

A New Beginning, 14x18, Water Color on Paper.

The beautiful metamorphosis that caterpillars have to go through to reach his final appearance is one of the most extraordinary wonders of nature. It's a remarkable way of teaching us how to accomplish greater things regardless of any physical or emotional difficulties. We just have to be patient and let time tell us when is the precise moment to transcend ourselves from a meaningless life to the marvelous world of happiness and hopefulness. We were all born to be something greater than we are, we just have to wait to strengthen our wings, then we can take off to a New Beginning.

Decision, A True Artist

Decision, 18X24 Oil on Canvas, Fall 2007
This master piece was the commencement of my career as a professional artist. The contents of this painting symbolizes the deepest and crucial decisions as an artist, whether to practice the classical style of painting which included, realistic figures, religious and academic themes, and different genre from the 15th, 16th, and 17th century or to practice the style of modernism, including, abstract, impressionism, cubism, expressionism, and many other styles that derived from the 19th century to the modern days. These two styles are represented in the painting by two different groups of scholars. The one on the left side bottom represent the classical period of artist where the main aspect of painting was the perfection of its contents. This perfection is interpreted by the way the figures are dressed realistically in classical tunic while interacting in a dialogical manner. In addition, the chessboard above the crow also represents the perfection of perspective and the mathematical process of it. On the other hand, the crow in the right side represents the modern period of outstanding artists and their styles. The figures are portrait with innovating dark blue outfit such as, hats and suits. The dynamic and bright colors of the platform above the modern spectators represents the avant-garde movement that transformed radically the manner in which society view art in today contemporaries - art should be an inner expression of one’s own perception of the world, therefore it has to be review, not by its realistic appearance, but by the essence of the artist’s inner expression toward his reality.
The emptiness between the two groups of spectators is meant to be the place where you, as a viewer stand and review the entire content. It gives you the opportunity to take part in the decision of choosing the style that fulfills your expectation as a critical thinker or as an art lover. Moreover, looking right at the empty space, there is a person whose gesture symbolized the question of “what do you think of this painting?”
On the dynamic platform, a man stands with his index finger pointing at the sky while with the other hand he claims for an answer to the question of “which style do you pick”. He resembles a teacher, a mentor, a scholar, a leader, an academy, an entire society that demands one true style of art, one choice to make, one way to go – like there were no others styles to choose. As a true artist, I picked my own style. I paint absolutely the essence of my soul, the uttering of my solemn thoughts, and the effusing of my transcendental and divine world. I want to see with the eyes of my soul, I want to see beyond of physical appearances, beyond races and cultures, philosophies and ideal, and beyond everything that make us(human) being separated from the entire universe and its harmonious contents.
