Jordanian living in Amman, Jordan

An artist based in Amman, Jordan, I have a background in interior design, photography, and fine arts, which has greatly influenced my artistic journey. However, my true passion lies in exploring the depths of human psychology. I focus on capturing emotions and mental states that people often struggle to express. Through a minimalistic style, I aim to portray these hidden feelings and internal battles, particularly for those dealing with psychological challenges. My art tells the stories of emotions left unsaid, offering a way to connect with what people feel but can't always articulate.

What started as a hobby gradually evolved into a career. I began my artistic journey through drawing, and over time, this passion grew into something more significant. I primarily work with acrylics on canvas or cardboard, creating psychological images that reflect human emotions and experiences—especially those feelings that are difficult to put into words but can be conveyed through art. My work is focused on expressing the unspoken, sometimes drawing from my own emotions and at other times channeling what I observe in others. Each piece is shaped by my personal creative process, guided by the emotions that inspire it.

As my artistic journey has progressed, my style has evolved, becoming more layered and complex in its portrayal of emotions. Yet, my core focus remains unchanged: capturing what people cannot express. I hope that when others view my art, they connect emotionally and feel understood in their unspoken struggles. While creative blocks are inevitable, I often overcome them by reconnecting with my own emotions or observing the struggles of others. The community around me also plays a crucial role, as their stories and emotions inspire new ideas and fuel my creative process.

Finding inspiration comes easily for me, as the complexity and depth of human emotions provide an endless well of possibilities. The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is knowing that my work resonates with others on a profound level. I am grateful to witness the growing acceptance of personal and psychological narratives within the art world, as this shift aligns closely with my own artistic vision. It’s fulfilling to see that more people are embracing the exploration of emotions through art.

To new artists, my advice is simple: stay true to your feelings and messages, as authenticity creates the most meaningful and impactful connections. In art, being genuine allows for deep emotional resonance, and that connection is what makes the work truly powerful.
