Photography with Nijad today, moves into a higher level to create real paintings of today’s moments. Motions of people in action; fading architecture that passes by unnoticed are all mixed together into layers of photographed images to finally create one illusion of surrealism with a special technique. In the instance of each creation, every picture painting has a story to tell and captures a moment in time. Nijad currently lives and works in between his two favorite cities; Beirut & Rome.
