Hani Naji is an Iraqi artist currently based in Dubai and Southern Virginia. Before he settled in the US, he survived two wars and a number of refugee camps, later graduating from Virginia Tech University with B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics.
“It was dark as the end of the world, the dust reached the sky, but I never lost hope.” said Hani Naji to the media.
Hani pursued career in both engineering and art at the same time. Hi is a self-taught artist with strong visual expressions, from oil on canvas, color pencils, pens to resin and bronze sculptures.
