ABOUT

As an artist specializing in Islamic geometric patterns, I strive to bridge the timeless beauty of traditional motifs with contemporary aesthetics. My work pays homage to the intricate construction techniques that have been perfected over centuries, while also pushing the boundaries of these patterns through innovative media and forms.

By incorporating materials such as glass and mirror mosaics, straw marquetry, 3D modelling and plotter drawings, I breathe new life into centuries-old patterns, allowing them to shine in modern contexts.

I do not confine my creations to flat surfaces. My exploration extends to three-dimensional forms, where I craft symmetrical, geometric spheres that invite viewers to engage with the artwork from multiple angles. Each piece is a meticulous study in balance and harmony, inviting a closer inspection to uncover the layers of complexity and craftsmanship.

"contemporary look to traditional patterns"

​​

Through my work, I seek to create a dialogue between tradition and innovation, offering a contemporary perspective on the timeless elegance of Islamic geometric patterns. I invite viewers to experience the intricate beauty of these patterns and to appreciate the delicate interplay between form, light, and space.

My work is in private collections in Australia, Canada, England, Germany, Italy, Qatar, Spain, Switzerland, USA.
