I have been drawn to depict the invisible, the impossible, and the timeless.

My work moves between two languages: the archetypal iconography of the mind, and geometry, the language of the universe. I manifest thought-forms, giving each a body in drawing, painting, sculpture, or light.

Coming from a lineage of artists and film directors, I have drawn since I was three, created digital art with computers since I was ten, and used artificial intelligence in my work before it became mainstream. I learned to transcend the tools and the techniques, and to focus on transmitting a vibe, an energy, a vision. Whether it is golden ink on parchment or a hundred-metre projection on a waterfall, it is all about the essence and the thought behind it.

The same philosophy carries into my art direction at giga-scale: the Alif Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, NEOM, and the Universal Sphere made with Steven Spielberg and Foster + Partners. The work is held in private collections across Europe, the United States, and the Gulf.

Art is magic. It was an evolutionary necessity for ancient man: to survive, to communicate the inexplicable, to capture minds, and to harmonise.
