When I was a child, my father always took me on holidays to take a walk by the Nile River...the boats with long white sails were beautiful and decorated with lights and roses...and people would ride in them, sing and dance...they are feelings of joy, love, friendship and The warmth of the family.... These memories have remained in my heart throughout the past years... and when I thought of creating a group of paintings to be in my portfolio , I chose the sailboats... because they are a very important symbol in my childhood that reminds me of my father, holidays and joy... I used the fat over lean technique... with Arabic letters that I love very much and some Arabic pattern  as well
