As an artist I have always tried to work with those related to mankind and nature and the two represents the beauty of the world around us. I do not accept the boundary that seems to be put in the right place on material reasons. I have always explored diverse types of media that brought tomymind a variety of themes, which somehow are inter-related to one another and I found them related to me as well. Being a Muslim artist I was so excited to participate in this international painting exhibition that promotes respect for the holy places. Frankly speaking I felt in my inner most mind a feeling of innocence and purity while painting those portraits. I tried to paint my ideas in a simple, symbolic, spiritual and puremanner and I used white color as background in my paintings, as the language of the color white is peace. It also represents my beloved religion, Islam. When I painted different images of the holy mosques, I showed a variety of cultures in our religion, but when I repeated the painting to produce these marvelous portraits it gave me a feeling that we are linked together and our breathings are for the same objective and we are the followers of one God! I enjoyed painting these holy places as my involvement was like a prayer.
