Relying on the history of art and at the same time turning away from the current concept of the important works of painting history, artist does a kind of appropriation.

This way, he achieves a contemporary reading of the art word; where the elements of pop culture sit on the body of classic art and strain this seemingly tough world. The use of bee in most of his works is what can be considered as a reference to one of the common point of cultures, as the myth of bee has its specific role and place in most cultures.
From Saudi culture and references in Quran, to some parts of Europe where bees are thought to be the messengers of the god and their existence is related to human’s life and death.
