Oil Paintings Project 03: Zuqaq Collection, Capturing Heritage in Oil

The "Zuqaq" Collection draws inspiration from the streets and cities of Palestine, captured through paintings that tell stories of history and heritage. "Zuqaq," an Arabic word meaning a narrow alleyway nestled between or behind buildings, often evokes the image of ancient places steeped in history. This collection is my tribute to the cities and villages of my homeland, many of which have been erased from the map or had their names altered. Every brushstroke in this series was a labor of love, and I hope you find as much joy in viewing them as I did in creating them.
