1. What's your story? Where are you from?

An artist from Cairo, Egypt. I started to make my artwork, when I was 19, actually I didn't even know that I have the talent, so I started by luck, I was a big fan for visual art movement as known as pop art, so when I started to make art I started with a general categories, but most of was collage work, and by the time I started to make mixed visuals arts.

2. Tell us about your aesthetic.

Actually, I always try to work in mixed art directions, but in my illustrations, I like to pick up warm and cold colors, that maketh a pop-culture fancy.

3. What is your favourite medium and why?

I get drawn in my own computer and ideas, I don't know actually what's my favorite to work in, but maybe it's illustration!

4. What is your artistic process like?

The ideas, of course, I always try to illustrate my own ideas which comes from the unknown and then start to pick up my ambiguous character and start to make a story

5. Who and/or what inspires your work?

Anything that passes in my day inspires me, maybe the objects or people's conversations, public issues, psychological issues and sometimes it comes from the way that I see things, so I try to draw my own feelings and impressions in art pieces. And of course, there are artists that inspire me like (Andy Warhol, Peter Phillips, Tom Wesselmann, Yayoi Kusama, Aya Takano)

8. Where do you see yourself in five years? Working in an agency?

Actually, I don't like to answer those questions, because I feel them not accurate, because I feel confused about my self, so I don't know where I want to be, but maybe I would love to be the same, and come up with my visuals every day,
