The artist must start from his environment and the issues and concerns of his society.

From here was my start as a visual artist.. I chose my environment and my heritage to build my identity and artistic vision by presenting plastic works

It records and introduces the popular heritage of the Jazan region in different ways through an art project called "Memory of the Ful According".

The first path:

Realistic works that record daily events in the past living and economic life in the house, field, market, and fashion

And the writings of critics and those interested.

The second track:

Executing plastic works with raw materials from the heritage after preparing and re-submitting them to produce a work pure from the heritage intellectually

And raw, and the beginning was with palm leaves (wicker) after treating it to be a substitute for canvas and working on it with acrylic or

oil until popular dyes were reached from crushed stone that the fronds accepted, and the results were wonderful, especially with regard to

Related to portraiture or hanging from the palm trees.

Third track:

Executing inherited works on large areas and solid materials that withstand external exposure and weather conditions, so it was an experience

Mosaic with ceramic pieces and pixel technology, and the results, thanks to God, were beautiful.

Fourth track:

As an extension of the Islamic decoration, the idea of creating a special decorative unit emerged from the Jazan heritage, so elements were chosen from

Inherited, such as the old dwelling, the jasmine flower, and the caddy plant, then altering them to the specifications of the decoration resulted in decorative units

Beautiful, and its beauty was enhanced by the use of digital art to create decorative works capable of development and continuity.
