Summary

My fascination with the culture and history of the Middle East led me to travel after I learned art and music. However, when I faced that precious cultural heritage was destroyed or unprotected because of war and lack of awareness, my interest turned to conflict prevention while studying Japanese cultural history at university and researching art transition history throughout the Silk Road as a student. So, although I now work in politics, art has always been my emotional support to connect the world in different ways. While staying in my house in Abu Dhabi during the COVID period, I started painting again and sought a world that expanded into the space within the painting. Apart from working on some artwork, I contribute as a translator to an Art Magazine besides my main job.
