I grew up in Cairo, in a home where art was a constant presence. Observing my father’s paintings and our early conversations about visual form established the foundation of how I perceive color and space.
After initially studying painting in Cairo, my focus shifted toward the structural challenge of three-dimensional design. This path led me to Germany, where I completed my Master’s degree in jewelry design and spent several years working within the technical precision of the craft. Today, my practice bridges both worlds. While my jewelry is built on geometric structure and a deliberate, slow design process, the canvas acts as its direct opposite. In my paintings, I step away from that rigid logic, using fast, raw movements and layers of acrylics to break down the boundaries of form.
One gives me the structure I need; the other allows me to break out of it.
