Description

An artwork of my story depicting my current self standing in front of a mirror suited up, surrounded by big buildings...while looking at my past reflection. Growing up in a small village in Egypt I had to travel overseas to join a good school. All I did as a kid was sketch and play video games, was lazy and didn't do any sports. Been bullied a lot in school as a kid for being tiny and made fun of for where I come from Was suspended once for punching the bully in the jaw. Used to be made fun of repetitively by my high school biology teacher in front of the whole class for being skinny, calling me "malnutritioned" and was placed in detention when I talked back. That's when I decided to change my lazy and boring lifestyle all around, and not be that tiny lazy kid who gets made fun of. My goal was to prove those people wrong and show them the talent that I have. I joined a boxing and mma gym and eventually started competing. I started being a lot more confident and productive. I started utilizing my artistic talent by doing acrylic paintings and digital illustrations and started learning photography. Had the honour of doing art collaborations with top names such as Gina Carano, Nate Diaz, Dominick Cruz, Cody Garbrandt and John Wayne Parr. All this was done while pursuing my engineering career. My main goal was to share my talent with people around the world and to remind those in a similar situation to always use the negative words as a motivation and to never lose focus. This is my art, and my art is my story. Stay Grinding!
