Artist Statement

As an artist, lately, I am founding more and more the purpose of my path, understanding my past and the path which I followed through my Academic years. I am understanding my tastes as well. My tastes as an artist. Figuring out and meditating on my artistic thoughts, trying to find a relationship between these thoughts and art in general. Most importantly, I am understanding myself. How I envision myself as an Artist.
Looking back at my Academic par court so far, I can see myself as a potential artist. Year after year, I have studied the benefits of every occasion and what every experience has bought me. My architecture years gave me a very strong artistic foundation with a very mathematical/Architectural thinking which demands a imaginative mind as well as a designing one. During that time, I was a very social person, and a very active one as well. During my first years of architecture, I was still organizing parties, and this was a very special passion or hobby of mine. Because even though it is contrary to what I just said, Organizing parties would give me the chance to isolate myself instead of going into the crowd meet people and socialize. I realized that I just want to pass some time alone and that I am that kind of person. I was working a lot, spending a lot of energy and thinking into a flow that I don’t want to be in. So, I isolated myself more and more, as I didn’t want to go with the flow anymore, specially after noticed that is very difficult for me to adapt in every situation, this gave me the possibility to put more on thinking, personal thinking, abstract thinking, artistic thinking, finding more and more myself. I think that the fact that I got out of society very quickly and taking my own decisions cutting a lot of contacts and connection was a very good decision, which taught me a lot, I started to read more books, specially philosophical, artistic, design, political books. I also wrote during that time a science-fiction/religion book, which I have been adding to it short essays and ideas from time to time. I also spent a lot of time by myself doing nothing at all beside thinking, watching documentaries, and this gave me later a push on to finding my artistic mind and my artistic self.
With time and after this period, I have figure out a big and important part of my artistic path. I wanted to work more with the essentials of Art, I wanted more of the artistic part of things rather than the theoretical ones that you may find in Architecture. I was searching for more deeper thoughts as well! More sophisticated things that demands a bit of a going out of the normal standards! Applying more of my own thinking rather than exchanging usual information or working on same concept for example plans and architectural details.
That is why at the time, applying and getting accepted at SFAI was one of the best experiences of my life.
The time giving for further artistic thoughts and very developed ones as well fascinated me as an art education at SFAI and I think that my personality and my career is in need of this.
My design times at NABA are giving me a very define artistic sense which I will definitely use in the future in the art and technology major mixing it with my own sense of art, thoughts and imagination that are getting developed more and more, and advancing months after months. I am learning a bit of the sense of modern entrepreneurship during my stay in Italy, Beirut and San Francisco.
I am into Art and Technology because I like to work a lot with my hands, in addition I am finding my personal way as an artist and I think that my thinking can be the best applied in the art and technology major. I am very curious about life at the moment and the politic of aesthetics in general which mean from where and based on what the aesthetics of things around us.
