Artist Statement

My name is Mohamed Ali, and I am an artist and storyteller who finds inspiration in the blend of athletics and art. Originally from the Middle East, I moved to the USA five years ago, which was a life-changing experience for me. I deeply appreciate being in the USA because it allowed me to expose my talent and learn at Princeton Academy of Art under my master, Gilberto Geraldo. Since then, I have embraced my identity as an artist, expressing my inner concerns and passions through my work.

My art is a reflection of my deep care for Mother Earth, endangered animals, and the importance of recycling. Drawing on cardboard, I aim to spread awareness about these crucial issues. Each piece I create carries a symbolic meaning, emphasizing the need to protect our planet and nurture the emotions and lives of all its inhabitants. My work is not just about visual appeal; it's about conveying a message and inspiring action.

In addition to my visual art, I am also dedicated to creating an animated TV show called Slimesen. This show aims to guide the new generation, bringing back hopes, dreams, and idols to young minds. Through Slimesen, I want to inspire kids to appreciate nature, dream big, and become valuable members of society. My mission is to use my art and storytelling to make a positive impact on the world, one piece at a time.
