My passion for drawing and calligraphy dates back to childhood , and both my skills and my artistic vision developed when I studied art at the university of Fine Arts in Tunis , Tunisia. My experience was built up thanks to my great passion and my everyday work, and this resutled in developing my own artistic style .
Urban sketching holds a special place in my artistic experience . It is, in fact , a daily practice routine in which I use public spaces as open workshops and just simple tools. I draw a lot, anywhere and at anytime . Drawing is not only a life style , but also a way to see the details of the city in a specific way.
As far as the Arabic calligraphy is concerned , its originality, its rich heritage stock and the diversity of its schools have always intrigued me . That’s why I was seriouly engaged and absorbed by the Arabic calligraphy schools trying to satisfy my spiritual thirst for authenticity and for the Arab civilization.
