My inspiration to draw and paint comes from people whose faces and expressions have a strong impact on me, may it be in person or from photographs. The refugee series started from the photographs taken of/or by my grandmother and our relatives. It is an awareness and a way to attest the struggle of refugees world wide.
Working on a canvas (or anything else) to unleash our own creativity and to witness the world around us is more important than following a passing fad in order to gain immediate recognition.
