The urban scenes are in a war torn Aleppo city, despite massive destructions, the artist managed to switch the focus from hunting, disturbing scenes to colorful playful neighborhoods scenes. The paintings executed expressively by applying his signature strokes of accumulative lines and used limited but colorful palette focusing on hopes and resiliency of the human spirits without showing human suffering. Paintings of streets piled up with fallen building materials, scenes of building facades, balconies, collapsed floors and aerial views of various Aleppo neighborhoods.
