Description

Currently I am working remotely, as a Senior Creature Artist at ABLIZMO Games Studio based in Australia. I am an accomplished digital sculptor with over 19-years of international experience in creating lifelike 3D models including characters and creatures for games.

THE LUNAR CODEX PROJECT
I feel extremely proud and privileged that I am the second artist from the United Arab Emirates whose artwork is being selected to be sent to the MOON to be permanently placed there on Nobile Crater (Lunar South Pole Region) in The Lunar Codex project — The Polaris Collection, via SpaceX Falcon Heavy / Astrobotic MoonBox / Astrobotic Griffin Lander and NASA VIPER Rover.
The artwork will be laser-etched on nickel microfiche and/or digitized on terabyte memory cards and enclosed in a time capsule and will be placed on the MOON in perpetuity.
The Lunar Codex is a set of time capsules launched on 7 NASA-related missions, including the work of 30,000 artists, writers, musicians and filmmakers, from 161 countries, in 7 time capsules launched to the moon.
"The Polaris Collection" is the 6th time capsule for The Lunar Codex scheduled in December 2025 and will be launched via NASA CLPS-TO-20A mission. The launch and landing will be live-streamed.
