Chronos of the MOVEment

I arrived in Oman on a Scuba Diving trip in 2001, to take a sabbatical from two decades in advertising, and decided to stay in Dubai, cofounding a company in Dubai Internet City in 2003. Later that year, found myself in the only art museum in UAE then, the Sharjah Art Museum, in a day-long session of discussion, with prominent artists from war-torn Iraq, I rented a sea-facing apartment near the museum and embarked on the tumultuous journey of an artist. The Journey is still on, and I can feel the future, not like an astrologer but as an artist

Mythos of being a HUman

Dubai is known for its materialistic opulence. and not so much for its intellectual pursuits, not directed at making a quick buck or swinging some mega-deal. Apparently, my focus is on spiritual subjects like love, god, and other intangibles which can only be felt and not seen, in sharp contrast. The real richness is intangible, as proved by the logic of emotions. Our planet is changing really fast on every level and how we deal with the changes on a daily basis is a big question to answer every other day, like many others on this planet who know of changes in store for us.

Kudos to DubAI

I love Dubai and the loads that happen around here. The multicultural anonymity, Talented People, Breathtaking Views of the desert, and the seasonal highlights of the region provide refreshing interludes of the normal humdrum of life. Great venues, events, and People I come across are interesting subjects that I haven’t written about and would love to.

Find Your Focus

Much of my early professional focus began with studying advertising at the university level, and was sustained by Reading passionately augmented it. Travel is a practical teacher for the adventure seekers like me. Throughout the nineties. I would make trips to the annual Lions ad festival at Cannes (France) and take excursions to art museums in France, London, New York, or wherever I went. Logical Proof that your life today prepares you for tomorrow. Most creative projects follow a similar trajectory and process and can be managed given the right knowledge and patience to go through the stages.

Use both brains

There’s a logic to defying logic in the creative and spiritual realms That probably was the cradle of abstract art. Where the feeling right brain declares supremacy over the logical right brain. My decision to abandon the <techvertising > took root in this state of mind and blossomed inside a transformed warehouse in a free zone at Sharjah Airport. Twenty-one years of Experiments with thousands of canvases taught me lessons with sweat, tears, and blood at times. It would be such a colossus waste if I don’t pass it on.
