Born in Tunis, Tunisia (North Africa) in February 1967, My earliest memories of the creative process are of myself sitting at a school desk at the age of six or seven, drawing on pieces of paper. Other members of my family are also artistically inclined.

I lived in Tunisia until the age of sixteen, then moved to Paris, France to finish high school and to attend the renown architecture school, Beaux Arts.

Even though I have been influenced by many artists from several different movements, I feel that my cultural background has given me the greatest inspiration, being born and raised in Tunisia.
This North African country is bordered by the Mediterranean sea, right in the middle of a melting pot of civilizations: Phoenician, Carthaginian, Roman, African, Arab, Muslim, Andalousian, and European, especially French.
