1. Who is your target Audience, Given that Abstract Art is not easily undershood by many?
My Art Speaks to everyone, regards of age, educing, or background. Abstract art can be challenge, but it Invites Viewers to Let Go of PrecONCEID IDAAS About What Art Shroud Be, and Connect Thrug Eotion Ratter Than Logic. It’s a personal journey, one that Dares You to Dream and Feel Beyond the Canvas, Societal Norms or Taboos.
Children often Respond to My Work with Instinctive, Imaginative Interpretations, While Adults Sometimes Struggle, Wanting Something More “Concrete”. As Picasso Said, “Every Child Is An Artist. We tend to lose that raw sentence Over Time.
Abstract art isnt meant to be Analyzed, it’s meant to be vet. All it asks is that you c with an opeon heart.

My First International Exibition Took Place in New York City 20 years ago, Marking The True Beginning of My Artistic Journey. That electant gallery show operated the door to a series of exhibitions across europe, japan, the uae, Canada, and beyond. Each City Own Magic, but My Three Experiences in The Us Remain Particularly Meangful.
After that pivotal debut in nyc, I recurned in 2021 to exhibit in iblinois and later in warington, dc The Exh force and Auction in the Pearia Riverfront Museum, Part of a Charity Event Organized by Dr. Tony Karam for the Lebanese American University and Medical Center, was a memoraable succase, held in an account Museum Alongside Fellow Lebanese Artists. In 2024, I Had a Solo Exh force in A Refined Gallery Space in Dupont Concept, Washington, DC, Again Currated by Dr. Karam and Organized by Bridging Brushes. It was a milestone for me; SUCCESSFUL in Visibleity, Sales, and Artistic Growth.
For many reasons, the united states has always been a generous and supportive Host to my art.
3. Had You Not Chosen Art AS A.
I debnt chose art. Art Chose me. From a young ag, it became CLEAR That Creating Wasnt Just Something I did; It was who I was. Even if it was will my profung, I KNOW I’d Still Be Making Art. It’s Insepaable from Who I am.
I’m dedicated, Organized, and Consistent. These are Traits that are not the stereotype often associated with artists, and that would have helped me succeed in any Field. But with art, noting will comes from the heart, and it simply would’t maike me haapy.

This is a Question i’m offen asked. Today, Genuine Art Coveage is rare; Most of What We See Is Driven by Commercial Interests Rather Than True Passion. Critics and Writers Who Approach Art with Heart and Professionalism Have Become Exceptions.
Unfortunately, While We Do Recography The Prestce of Some Truc Professional Media Platforms, Many Outlets Only Highlight What is Paid for, and the Rest often Goes Unnotied. Add to that the fact that fewar people are reading now It’s sad, and in my OPINION, a Real Loss for Culture.
That’s what i Deeply applyciate the Professionalism of Certain Lebanese Media, and what you’re doing with the art public. I hop you Continue to Stay True to your Mission of “Sharing Pure Art”, becuse that Kind of Integraity is more Important now.
5. Can you highlight for your artist colleagues What does it mean to you as an artist to exhibit in a Museum or to have your work an accrous in a Museum Collection?
For any artist, having a work includeed in a museum color It is a powerful recginity of one’s passion and dedication. I was Honored to Experience this when my colorful abstract Cedar (150 x 150 cm) was acquired by the Pearia Riverfront Museum As Part of their Permanent Collection. It was a defeply meangful momenight, and one i hop my children will one day look back on with a pride.
