Hello, I’m Khaled

I’m an artist and surface pattern designer born and raised in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Art has always been an essential part of who I am. Growing up, I was naturally observant and drawn to color, shape, architecture, nature, and the small details that made my surroundings feel alive. From the sea and night sky to Jeddah’s distinctive mix of art, culture, and coastal life, creativity became a natural part of how I saw the world. That same curiosity continues to guide the way I create today.

From 2014 to 2021, I lived in San Francisco, where I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from California College of the Arts (CCA). Living and working among a diverse creative community introduced me to new perspectives and encouraged me to explore different ways of expressing ideas through art.

Today, my work moves between bold color, playful forms, hand-drawn textures, and expressive patterns. I enjoy exploring florals, abstract compositions, geometric shapes, and folk-inspired imagery, allowing each idea to develop its own personality rather than limiting myself to one visual style.

My creative perspective continues to be shaped by the places I have called home—not always through literal imagery, but through the memories, curiosity, and sense of possibility they have given me.
