While in pharmacy school he was inspired by many teachers and artists. His first art show in Baghdad was in 1980, opening a door that would lead his work to be featured in several galleries, later in 1982 he was forced to work as a pharmacist and a medic during the Iran-Iraq war for five years in the army, when it ended in 1989, he left Iraq with His family and moved from Athens to Los Angeles.

His work of art was featured in many galleries in the United States and the world.

My colors are united in one art piece reflecting the tone of the Earth, the language of the universe, the cry and pain of the oppressed people. On my canvas, the black, red and white are in harmony just like my soul. I would love all the people to achieve that kind of unity.

Celebrate the art.
