“I see beauty everywhere. I highlight features of beauty and exaggerate them.” — Rula Al-Bakri

I have loved drawing since my childhood. My passion is painting women's faces. Every face I paint expresses the moment I live in. When I start drawing, features gradually begin to appear, and I keep changing features until I feel that I have reached the form that expresses my feelings; as if the face in the painting becomes my friend. I talk, sing, and complain to her. The painting stays in front of me for a while so I can glance at it until I draw another face. I love beauty everywhere, the strong colors that can be seen, and the clear contrast, because they give the impression of strength and intensity.

I am accepting commissions for 2024.
