ART & WALLS

Art is a passion, art for communication, and art as a tool for social change. Street art is particularly interesting for me because of its reach and its indiscrimination in targeting a wide range of people, and in its ability to connect people with their surroundings. I've been painting walls in the cities that I visit while I travel, so far on three different continents, most of which are in my home city, Beirut. I love the joy that people get from seeing something beautiful being created, and I also love organising social activities to involve people in making art. Several of my works are themed around sustainable transport, particularly the beauty of the bicycle as a form of freedom, mobility and accessibility.
