In his own words:
In the year 1946, I was introduced to the world around me in the Jewish neighborhood of Halabja.
My artistic feelings date back to my childhood. We lived in a two-story house with a beautiful architecture. It seemed to be the work of skilled craftsmen from Kermanshah. My attempt was to replicate the form of those windows and they inspired me and introduced me to the world of color.
The memory of this house lived and grew in me and did not leave me until it led me to the world of architecture and decoration. In 1988, I completed several architectural works in Sulaymaniyah, which are still examples of modern work.
