Contemporary Paintings

The artist did not start as a photorealism artist. He first style was hard-edge, i.e. solid color fields abutted against each other with hard, unblended edges. Later, he joined the Bahrain Contemporary Artists Association in Manama, Bahrain because that was the only place that he could go to paint off base without a "liberty buddy". There, the Bahraini artists encouraged him to avoid realism to focus on looser styles. Later still, he embraced an additional Jackson Pollock-like expressionist style of splattering paint to bring out the sheer texture of the materials. To this day, when he wants to just finish something, it is inevitably a hard-edge piece, while if he wants to decorate a wall quickly, he makes splatter paintings. These styles are available to order, in both size and color choices, at much lower prices than his photorealistic works.
