Hala Al Faisal
Untitled
1992
Pastel on paper
65 x 50 cm
Influenced from her communist politician father and her mother’s strong character, Hala al-Faisal’s life and art has been influenced by leftist politics, women’s rights and her own determination. She devoted a major portion of her artistic production to women as a direct result of her childhood environment. The work “Untitled” depicts a woman painting on a canvas, in a possible self-portrait of the artist, herself.
Syrian artist, Hala al-Faisal (1958) studied fine arts in Damascus, Paris and New York and set decor at the Higher Institute of Cinema in Moscow. She lived, worked and exhibited in Syria, Russia, Italy, Germany, US, France and Lebanon.
