Was born in Alexandria Egypt in 13.02.1954 and completed my fine art studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Alexandria, B.F.A. 1977. I had been inspired by colors and forms found in nature, painting for me is a way of life, it is the way you get to know yourself and get to know the world. I appreciate the scent of oils, the touch of clay and the sprinting move of the paint brush, they all form the mood in which I approach making art.

Jim Rosenquist is a true American original and his book ought to be read by anyone who wants to understand the last half-century of his country’s visual culture, high, low, and in between.” –Robert Hughes, amazon
