Today, he spends most of his time painting in the studio and also conducting workshops on art and sign language in schools and art spaces across the UAE.  His passion for painting and photography, as well as his portfolio, continue to grow. He has run oil painting and charcoal workshops at Soul Art and The Workshop Dubai and has worked as a freelance photographer for arts and fashion events in the region since  2012.
