He uses various mediums such as oil paints, coal pencil, watercolors and ink on paper, napkins or tissue papers.

He creates realistic artworks, imitation of original photos which is a motivation for him to enhance his creativity and to prove his professionalism among some significant names in art in Iraq.
Creativity was part of his environment while growing up in a family of artists – his father was a cinematographer, grandfathers – a poet, and a sculpture artist; his uncle is an artist too. Abd Ulala is currently pursuing his art studies at the Institute of Fine Art in Baghdad which is one of the oldest academic and artistic edifices in Iraq.
