My Story
Art has always been more than a skill for me — it has been a way to breathe.
As a self-taught artist with Iraqi roots, born and raised in Norway, I discovered drawing during a period when words felt too heavy to express. What began as a quiet escape slowly grew into a powerful tool for navigating my own mental landscape.
Hyper-realism became my language.
Through charcoal and pencil, I found a way to transform emotion into something visible — something honest. Every portrait I create carries pieces of struggle, healing, silence, and strength. My art reflects the battles we don’t always talk about, the ones lived behind the eyes.
Today, Scorpio Art is my platform to bring those hidden stories into the light. My mission is simple: with art against silence — using creativity to spark conversation, challenge stigma, and support mental health awareness. I believe vulnerability is a form of courage, and my portraits aim to honor that.
I continue to refine my craft every day, learning with curiosity and drawing with intention. I accept commissions in pencil and charcoal, from intimate portraits to large-scale, emotion-driven pieces. Wherever you are in the world, I welcome you to be part of this journey — to create artwork that not only looks real, but feels real.
