I paint what light remembers.

An artist shaped by water, light, and the quiet intelligence of materials.

I

Statement

Based in Bahrain, where the desert meets the Gulf. My work is an attempt to keep what would otherwise disappear: the colour after rain, a watchful form, and the specific blue that exists here at four in the afternoon in winter.

I do not begin with a final drawing. I begin with a feeling, a surface, and a question. Some paintings arrive as landscapes; others as watchful eyes, folklore, birds, or doors in the night.

I follow contour, pigment, and light until the image finds its own atmosphere.

Wall work

The wall becomes the canvas.

From the first mark to a finished public surface.

I look for the moment a material stops being a material, and becomes a memory.
