1994 I found the passion for restoring old antique wood sculpture and furniture. Through this work I learned many techniques in this field. Autodidactly I learned wood curving, calligraphy and painting. Qualified friends in this field made this effort much easier for me. Through the years I was appreciating art in all its forms.

2008 I opened my private Gallery after finishing restoring it.

2008 my first Exhibition „ Arabic Calligraphy with a difference“. This exhibition was consisting of 55 Art works (33 Acryl paintings, 14 stone sculptures and 8 wood sculptures)

With time I am trying to make the Arabic calligraphy or the Arabic signs understandable and acceptable for Arabic and a non Arabic viewer.
