Khalid Al-Jadir mastered Arabic, French and English and some German. This allowed him to broaden his knowledge about the history of Islamic and international arts. He constantly followed subjects that interested him in the media, at exhibitions and in museums. He would say that art was not only a gift and a technique, but founded on knowledge.
