Rima Moukahal is a Lebanese artist who has always been fascinated by colours and painting. Her journey in the art world began at an early age when she was offered a scholarship to study drawing in Italy, but the civil war in Lebanon put a pause to her artistic pursuits for nearly two decades. After spending many years in the corporate sector, Moukahal decided to follow her passion for art and explore all its aspects. She was mentored by prominent Arab artists in Beirut,
Cairo and Dubai, and her art is mostly classified as abstract expressionism influenced by her personal emotional and psychological reactions to collective human experiences.
Moukahal uses colours, gestures, layers and movements to transfer her emotions onto canvas. Moukahal works with acrylic, overlay with stucco and other materials, collages, and stitching to create her pieces. She is currently a full-time member of her studio at Tashkeel.
