Arabic Inspired Art


There has always been a passion for Arabic, its written form and its inner meaning.  Arabic words are often taken from the Holy Quran, and quite simply contain many narratives and meanings.

Experimenting with new ideas and trying to reach a fresh perspective on both conventionality and traditional images continues to be a wonderful and fulfilling journey for him. This pursuit has resulted in both some fabulous and rewarding results, and below are images of this journey unfolding.
