Aref is a self publishing, multi-award winning artist who exhibits all over the world.
Each of his pieces offers something entirely new to enjoy each time they are seen. Fragments of triangular shapes and shadows camouflage images that become visible one day but not another, depending on the viewer’s reception. Finding new pleasures in his work allows the viewer to delve deeper into their own interpretations, bringing infinite long term appeal.
Aref had a strong passion for the arts at a very early age. Although he graduated from the university with a law degree, he was always active painting and teaching art. After immigrating to Italy in 1980, his passion for painting became strongly influenced by the facets of cubism where he developed his own unique style. Inspired by the fundamental essence and beauty of music, women, and nature he brings his own brand of romanticism with a blend of abstractism, realism and cubism.
