SELECTED WORKS

An original acrylic painting depicting a man with a camel in a desert land at sunset/sunrise.
50x40 cm | Acrylic on Canvas | 2025 (Currently available)

A lone man stands at the threshold between death and the afterlife, looking towards the light of the next. The setting sun symbolises the end of his life’s journey, while the camel represents A‘amal (أعمال), i.e. the deeds that alone accompany us beyond this world. Carrying nothing, the camel reminds us that no material possession follows after death; only our actions endure. This piece is a quiet reminder that life isn’t just about chasing material things. It’s about walking the path of God, doing good deeds, and preparing for the peace that awaits in the life to come.

Swallows have long been symbols of hope, freedom, good fortune and the arrival of joyful news. Part of the Unbound: A series of Birds in Flight, in this piece, I painted two swallows in flight, free and playful, moving without care or restraint. They capture the essence of freedom: living unbound and simply enjoying the moment.

Original acrylic painting depicting a soft cloud filled sky with two birds at the bottom looking up at the third one
35x51 cm | Acrylic on Canvas | 2025 (Currently available)

Amid a dreamy expanse of clouds, three swallows take flight. Part of the Unbound: A series of Birds in Flight, in this painting, I wanted them to represent Hope.

The two swallows at the bottom look upward, full of longing, while the third represents the moment that hope is fulfilled.

Drawn from my own personal struggles, this piece is a reminder that what you have been waiting for will one day happen. It carries the hope that struggles will ease and that one day, you will live the life you have always dreamed of.

30x25 cm | Acrylic on Canvas | 2025 (Currently available)

Salam means peace- a greeting and a prayer. This painting is my way of honouring the land of Palestine and its people. I brought together symbols of Palestinian identity and resilience —olive branches, the flag, and Al Aqsa —into one piece. For me, this work is not just an artwork, but a gesture of respect and gratitude for Palestine and its enduring strength.

30x21 cm | Acrylic on Paper | 2024 (Currently available)

This painting was inspired by the charming pastel buildings of the Mina District in Doha. Painted with only a palette knife, the subtle textures in this painting bring out the character of the architecture, while the interplay of light and shadow adds depth and warmth, just like a quiet afternoon stroll through this beautiful old Doha port.

Two impressionistic paintings with soft pastel landscapes and Quran verses. one is pink sky with the Kaaba.
20x20 cm | Acrylic on Canvas | 2025 (Currently available)

This ongoing series is inspired by powerful Quranic verses, words that bring comfort in difficult times and remind us that Allah is always with us. Each painting brings faith and peace together, set against soft, calming backgrounds that reflect the sense of reassurance these verses bring to our hearts.

Painting of a Dhow boat with Qatar's flag flying on a background of soft cloudy sky with the Doha skyline faintly visible
20x20 cm | Acrylic on Canvas | 2025 (Currently available)

A traditional dhow sails before the modern Doha skyline, symbolising the balance between Qatar’s rich seafaring heritage and its rapid growth. In this painting, I wanted to capture the balance between the old and new that makes Qatar so special.

Doha Dreams

18x24 cm | Acrylic on Canvas | 2024 (In Private Collection)

This semi-abstract painting captures the Doha skyline with expressive brushstrokes, blending the structure with the atmosphere, allowing the city to emerge through colour and movement rather than detail. In this piece, I aimed to capture the colourful lights of the buildings while also holding onto the dreamlike feel of this city.

Pastel Dreams

30x40 cm | Acrylic on Canvas | 2024 (In Private Collection)

This abstract painting captures the colours of a sunset over the ocean, with teal, pinks, and oranges blending across the sky and water. Rather than focusing on detail, I painted the scene through colour and gesture to reflect the feeling of the moment. Part of my very first collection, Dreamy Skies, it explores the beauty and emotion found in shifting skies.
