Ottawa contemporary artist, abstract, impressionist, and mixed media.
A self-taught artist with over 19 years of studio experience in oil and mixed media.
Started painting In 1999, taking her first course in mixed media at the visual art center here in Ottawa , Canada and what has started as an interest had become a big part of her life. Creating and exploring art that is true to her own quest for creative impression and expression, balancing reality with freedom. "I simply paint what I see and what evokes certain feelings and emotions it's reflections of my soul". Manal's painting sometime touches on emotions, sometime on dreams or simply what touches her from immediate and visible surroundings. Each piece of her work is unique and represents a special-moment. Her passion for abstract and contemporary paintings brings an emotional freedom and chromatic world to contemporary art. "my love of life and colors are my inspiration".
