He started his artistic journey with simple beginnings and how he found himself enjoying art through paper, pen and colors, with the tools of an innocent child, little by little he developed his skills and techniques in drawing, from his great interest in drawing car details and showing them to friends in his spare time to drawing paintings with different techniques until he found his unique style in 1413. The school administration contacted him to contain his dazzling artistic style and develop his skills in drawing and employing art In ways useful to the school and the community
And he believes that if a person finds love in something, he enjoys it even if it is not your specialty!
Stages of the artist's development
Among the activities held at the school, Fouad used his skills to employ various societal titles such as the Cleanliness Week, the Traffic Week, and the Teacher's Day. His passion continues in the field of drawing cars.
In middle school, he started a new step, which is selling car plates to friends and acquaintances, and he saw that the topic was profitable from his vision of a mini-project and as a source of income.
His passion for drawing increased, and in high school his talent developed into drawing posters, at the request of people, of their favorite artists in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Gulf countries and the world.
And he had a new direction in the world of portrait painting, and he became famous in the field of posters. During his university level, he also became an artist known for drawing and selling posters in the eastern region.
Despite his keen interest in the field of arts, and his ambition to achieve his dream, he was unable to join the Faculty of Arts at that time because the Faculty of Arts belongs to the educational department in the field of education. And the response was very harsh at the time of the first interview to join the Faculty of Arts, that he could not work as a teacher, because he could not speak in a good way to the students because he was diagnosed with stuttering.
This rejection was not an obstacle for him, but he continued and rose to his ambition and the realization of his dreams
In 2002, Fouad worked in a government job in the city of Riyadh, because of which he moved to a new city and started his new journey. After working hours, he does his favorite hobby, which is drawing and selling various designs.
If art wants to be original, it must be understood, especially by those to whom it is addressed
In the year 2005, he thought about the growth of his art and its exploitation in new ways, so as not to continue at the same pace in his art, and to keep pace with the existing fashion in that year.
And according to the interest of most young people in beautifying and decorating their car and showing it in the best way, the artist Fouad worked in this field and received requests accordingly, while continuing to design and sell stickers, but with modern designs.
In 2010, he asked himself, How long have I been making and selling posters?
Why not go out of the ordinary? I excel in my passion, which is design and drawing
So he deviated from the usual box and created design ideas and painted on the walls, which is called graffiti design
In 2011, schools competed to beautify their facades, banners, and walls, so Fouad worked on beautifying and improving schools and paying attention to education.
As well as drawing on the walls of neighborhood schools, he became interested in painting on the corners of these places and spreading his art in society.
And with the development that took place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the opening of cafes and restaurants, he began to paint on the walls of restaurants, cafes and resorts, as a kind of addition.

Until the vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was announced, and an item of the vision caught Fouad's attention, which is

Addressing visual distortion and paying attention to graffiti, working to remove distortions that we find in public streets, and decorating the visual scene.

And he became a certified artist in this field, and to conduct training courses in the field of graffiti drawing, and aspires to establish an academy in the development of those interested in the field of graffiti drawing, and it will be, God willing, the first licensed academy for training in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Ambition and growth
Fouad did not stop growing, ambitious, and sophisticated in his field and creativity, but rather sailed and continued until he opened his own company (Gharib Art Company) at the beginning of 2022, and formed a crew of artists to work in this field.
He is keen to choose the elite of artists from different regions of the Kingdom, to support Saudi talents, and to enhance their talent.
He participated in publishing his art in many projects such as (Riyadh Season 2021), Riyadh Season 2022 such as Boulevard World, new resorts in Al-Ula, Middle Best and Riyadh Front.

He did not only work on the murals, but also on the models, so he worked on proposing to improve the models in the roundabout of one of the streets of Al-Ahsa, and rephrase them in the colors of the flags of the Arab Gulf countries, and they named it the Gulf Cooperation Council roundabout, adding a touch to the identity of the Kingdom and drawing inspiration from its culture and the culture of its people.

Fouad's artistic style
The artist Fouad follows a style with his clients; For example, if the client is not aware of the idea in his imagination, then Fouad tries to act as a psychiatrist for him and tries to talk to him and ask him some questions in order to know his taste and choices and draw a drawing and design for him based on the discussion that took place between them.
