To date Ibrahim has sold 3,000 originals; his style has dominated the art market. Most of his work can be viewed in many galleries such as Art Gallery of Hamilton, Burlington Art Gallery, and in many galleries in the USA (Michigan, New York & Missouri); while dedicating his limited time to other Middle Eastern - North American projects and organizations.
