Haneen Al-Fahd: Drawing is a space to express my feelings and my Sensations

The love of drawing dominated the consciousness and imagination of the young woman, Haneen Al-Fahd, as it has  become her own way to express her feelings and is a space of hope to overcome the difficulties that she went through to prove herself and achieve success in the field of drawing and in her studies at the College of Pharmacy.

About her passion for drawing, she said, “I loved drawing from a young age, thanks to my mother, who was an artist whose paintings were covering the walls of our house. My love for drawing prompted me to take a step that taught me how to be confident in my artistic abilities and myself. At the end of 2015, my mother passed away, so I had nothing but art as the only means to express my soul and inner feelings. Through my efforts, experience, training, and accuracy of observation, I was able to reach the level that I aspire to, and I still aspire to achieve the best.”

Referring to the topics she deals with in her paintings, she said, “I like portraiture in general and children in particular. Through the faces and features of children, I can express what is going on inside me, as children have true and pure feelings. In general, I draw in response to an emotional state I live in, and when I feel that I need to paint, I used to leave everything and dive into the world of drawing.”

“I tried various materials in my work, including acrylic and oil   colors, but charcoal attracted me more and most of my paintings were done with it”, Haneen added.
