My site is made up of two subject matters, which are villages and cities. The majority of these cities and villages are inspired by Middle-Eastern architecture and life. My villages tend to be almost all my imagination, while the city ones often have a real existing landmark. However this landmark I make richer and more intricate then it is in the real world. I also sometimes paint fantasy paintings, however it remains having the same style as my primitive art painting Short Description: A Middleeastern Naive Primitive Folk art arab art Syrian art Islamic art International art
