Who am I

I am an artist who came to this path not through training, but through awakening.

For most of my life, art was not something I practiced or studied. Then, at 30, something shifted. It arrived suddenly, fully formed, undeniable, as if it had always been waiting beneath the surface. What began as curiosity became obsession. Not with technique, but with truth. With expression. With something deeper than the visible.

I was born in the UK, shaped by a Moroccan heritage deeply rooted in ancient wisdom, symbolism, and tribal culture. There is something embedded in that lineage, a language beyond words, carried through patterns, markings, and unseen meaning. Tribal alphabets, ancestral symbols, and spiritual codes have long been used to express what cannot be spoken. In many ways, my work feels like a continuation of that, not learned, but remembered.
