Lbayk - This work is an interview of the Picasso Guernica painting describing the horrors of war at that time. This work discusses the Guernica with hope and deep faith in the Lord, glory be to Him, and talks about the ritual of Hajj, which is the greatest obligation presented to God Almighty. That is why it is considered a feast for Muslims. On this holiday we approach the Lord by slaughtering A sacrifice as did the Prophet Abraham when he slaughtered a sheep instead of his son obeying the command of God. This sacrament is eaten by friends and family, and a third of it must be given to the poor. Here a sacred concept is embodied. Despite our love for money, we offer what we can to the poor to please the Lord. On this feast, the family gathers, cooks and roasts meat in a unique gathering.

offline - it means "not connected to a computer, a computer network, or the Internet." {In this work means not connected to the real-life}
A girl sits in a long chair alone. Between her fingers the iPad. And on her other hand the mobile phone. Her ears cover the headphones. As if by that she is separated in her own way from the outside world. And she creates a world of her own that she lives and touches. That our virtual world has become its digital reality... it has begun to fade into the real reality, as if it is moving in a physical and sensual way to its other world. since she enters the Internet. The girl becomes in moments outside the coverage.
The long seat with its transverse lines crosses the long time and the continuous, endless hours. And the longitudinal lines represent days, weeks, and months. We note that they remained in place without movement, and days passed and hours faded and faded and their existence faded until her small body began to dissolve alongside the power of social media and her endless temptations.
This view was realistic, and I saw it in one of the public places and he influenced an artist deeply and expressed it in my own style... I called the work off-line.

The phrase “Marhaba alf” “Thousand Hello” is an old and ancient phrase that has been used by the people in the Asir region in southern Saudi Arabia since ancient times, indicating that the “alif” “thousand” does not mean the number ( 1000), but rather it means “alif” from “Al-Malfi” and means “please” to the council or place. Visitors to the area understand that they express it with a thousand “number,” meaning “a thousand times.” The visitor to Asir is happy to see the screen of the people's faces and their constant welcome to the guest in their famous way, “Hello a thousand,” which everyone repeats until it becomes more like a permanent slogan for the region and its people, and even became repeated by visitors. themselves.

Hat Al Bakhashish ya baba - In the big family home. The sun's light rose with his joy, and its golden rays crept through the open window, with his loud voice roaring (the sound of the cannon) marking the beginning of the feast. That voice, majestic in its grandeur, shook hearts with its splendor, and the birds flew in its wake, rejoicing in the happy feast. The grandfather sat at the window contemplating the joy of the worshipers filling the streets. And the children ran in their new clothes, looking at the joy of Eid, laughter, and greetings here and there, and the atmosphere was filled with joy. Then the happy grandson entered the grandfather's room and shouted with joy. Happy Eid. His little palm preceded him, his delicate fingers dancing and his sweet voice singing sweetly. Papa, give the tip. With joy, the affectionate grandfather extended his hand with the green paper and a smile rose on his face.

Layali kawkab alshrq - On the opposite side of the living room in my great grandfather's house lies the grandmother's room, its corners touching the memories, the place smells of longing for the past. The wall of the room is decorated with an old picture of the planet of the East (singer Umm Kulthum) as she delights the audience with her charming performance. In her comfortable seat, the grandmother sat in her traditional dress and her fingers were decorated with a turquoise ring and her handkerchief was embroidered. Next to it sits the phonograph, its fine needle moves monotonously without making a sound on the page of the circular cylinder, the voice of the eastern planet faltered from the phonograph, echoing its sweetness with its song (Happy Eid Anastina).
In this painting a part of my life I added with love and longing and expressed it as an artist with the blue turquoise ring is my mother's ring, may God protect her, and I have always loved to include my father & mother in my work.

Our old grocery store - When I was younger in primary school, the time to leave school was our favorite time. Because we know that the brown lady is eagerly waiting for us to go out so that we can buy sweets and chocolates from her, and indeed every day of school we find her waiting for us in her black cloak (sweets and chocolates were placed inside a large metal tray), so we run eagerly to buy what we like from her, and when she is finished and we go to our homes, she carries that large tray on her head and leaves quietly. It was like a candy grocery for our childhood. This painting is a quotation from Paul Gauguin's painting "Tahitian woman on the seashore."
