He is an artist who combines a sense of journalism along with his high artistic talent, and this is what made him have the rapid ability to capture vivid ideas from the pulse of people, and from the heart of society, and to embody these ideas in lines and colors characterized by boldness and bold social and political criticism in most cases.
