Ninos chammo - Chosen by art

I was chosen by art.
It's not what I do - it is who I am.

Was born Assyrian, but I grew up living among the rich culture and history of Italy. At age 16, I started my apprenticeship in Florence. That is where I first learned the skills of sculpting, painting and designing. For over seven years, I mastered my trade in several schools, ateliers and artisan shops.

At the ACADEMIES I gained a profound understanding of the fine arts. I became proficient in creating frescos and monuments at Raymondo RiaciAtelier. And I discovered one of my greatest passions - sculpting - at Bronzi Di Firenze. There I worked as a professional sculptor, creating statues in Bronzi A Cera Persa. I also worked in Bini Alfonso, the famous artisan shop, alongside the Japanese artist, Harwo Kinoshita. Under Florentine traditions, I created wood sculptures and papier mache masks, as well as interior design and jewelry for Ponte Vecchio.

How do I describe my art? as a fusion of cultures. From Gelgamesh's immorality, to Dante's inferno, to Gibran's philosophy, my work bridges historical and cultural difference. I am eternally inspired by the earth's natural elements of fire and water, earth and sky, and life and death. My statues are an interactive message, designed to raise the viewer's spirits and expand their imagination.

For the last three years, I have been designing sterling silver jewelry in New York City. My work has been displayed in galleries throughout Europe and United States.
