In my early studying periods I started making shapes of humans
and animals from pieces of wood, this hobby didn’t come from
hollow or from a coincidence but it came from my working at the
carpentering workshop which my brothers own , and that was the
thing which made me enter the world of fine art.
I was sculpting human and
animals shapes on wood in my free time at the workshop, and that
was my only enjoyment and hobby. Then I realized that the small
pieces of wood are no longer enough for my growing little
talent, so I decided to sculptor the tree branches which I was
having from farms and from the ships workshops , and that gave
me more space in sculpting.
Because my house was near
the see, I was taking the advantage of that by taking the
scattered easy to sculpture rocks from the beach to sculptor
them and show them in the school’s exhibitions with my friends,
and that was my only way to show my art pieces to take more
enthusiasm to continue my hobby.
When I graduated from high
school, my brothers and my arts teachers enthused me to continue
my studying, so I studied for two years in the High Institute
for Teachers (Ala'aly institute) – department of fine arts ,
and my major was carpentering , then I worked in Alno’aym school
for two years teaching fine arts to the secondary students and
carpentering to the intermediate students.
At 1976 I traveled to Cairo
to continue my fine arts studying at The College of Fine Arts-
department of sculpting , during my studying in Egypt I met
lots of artists and visited exhibitions , in addition I
participated in the college’s exhibition with the other college
students , also I won prizes in sculpting. I was nominated with
some friends of mine from the college to visit Britain and France
at 1980 to visit the British and French artists and there
studios for a month.
When I graduated from
college at 1981 I worked at Bahrain National Museum from 1981 to
1983 , then I worked in Ministry of Education as a fine arts
teacher.
I participated in the
annual exhibitions which the Ministry of Information organizing since
1976 until now, in addition I participated in Bahrain Society
For Modern Arts , and Bahrain Pottery Society.
I have obtained several thanking certificates in many art shows
. Additionally , I have works of Arts in Bahrain, Kuwait,
Emirates, Oman, Cairo, United Kingdom, and China.
