I started to post on it everything related to this form of art. “I started the idea one and a half years ago alone without help from anyone, and people were surprised to hear about scrap art until I opened a page on the Facebook and gave it the name ‘The Scrap Art’ and I dedicated it to this art. The move, he said, has helped him gain a large following and he eventually started receiving requests to create bespoke pieces for clients. So he opened a Facebook page and started to post details and information about the art while displaying his own artworks. Scrap metal art is not a well-known concept in Iraq and people are often surprised to find that Na’ib’s sculptures are made from bits of metal that were thrown away. Laid out on the table next to him are a scrap metal ant, a realistic-looking camera and a structure of a motorbike and several small robots. Na’ib is currently working on a giant robot, a scrap replica of the Harvester or the hunter killer creature that appeared in The Terminator movie. I’ve found out that it is well-known international art form, which is used to preserve the environment and improve children’s mentality by teaching them how to rationalize the use of materials and eventually preserve the environment,” said Na’ib, sitting in his workshop filled with various kinds of discarded scrap metal.
I liked the idea because I wanted to do something different and I wanted to do something to serve the society. I made around 22 art pieces before shifting my attention to scrap metal art.
“I am self-taught as I could not go and study to develop my skill. This specific piece ignited his interest in scrap metal art, and he started to look at it as a creative outlet which he could potentially master and excel.
This unusual detour began about two years ago, when he created a five centimeter long motorbike sculpture with meticulous details, all from parts of watches including cogwheels and fuse.
