Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work. When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media.

God has blessed me with a great caring & loving family who brought me up in the best way possible. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia to an Egyptian father & Canadian Mother. I truly have enjoyed a global lifestyle. Living in two distant & vastly different metropolises, Cairo where I spent my early & late teenage years and Toronto where I spent my early years as well as where I currently am located. Thankfully, I was born into a family that had a passion for traveling, early family trips to Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Alexandria & more, inspired more adventures like cross country exploring Japan & Germany amongst others. What I love most about experiencing new cultures & places, is the fact that it is a constant reminder of how beautifully ignorant one always is. Travelling also serves as a tool of self discovery, one is able to figure out things about his self that he never would have otherwise noticed at all before.
