Painting Morning Chores by Nahleh Mona | Painting

Mona graduated in English literature and is a self-taught artist who lives and works in Lebanon. Over the course of a year, she learned the fundamentals of pictorial technique from the Egyptian painter Mansour Ahmed. At the end of this apprenticeship in 1994, she organised her first solo exhibition at the Al Shamoa Gallery in Cairo. Three years later, after having profited from all the art forms at her disposal and having spent countless hours practicing with her paints and brushes, the young painter felt sufficiently experienced to chart her own course as an artist according to her own personal experiments and aspirations.
