Biography
Kinda Hibrawi's artwork is a passionate journey of femininity, spirituality and cultural convergence. Tapping into the potential of Arabic as an art form, she creates words in abstract compositions linking traditional with contemporary. There is a great freedom and sense of adventure in her courtship of the Arabic script. Of Syrian descent, Hibrawi grew up between Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon and the United States. Her formative years in the Middle East gave her the opportunity to study Arabic language in all of its art forms. Through her studies she began to expand on the ancient tradition of Arabic Calligraphy by giving it a modern twist. As an Arab American, she felt the need for her artwork to reflect the richness of the Middle East coupled with Western diversity. She has successfully intertwined both and is exposing audiences to the historic art form. Hibrawi's original work is sought by national and international collectors and has been exhibited in galleries across the USA. It is part of the permanent collection of the Arab American Museum. She was asked by the City of Los Angeles to premiere her work in their 2006 Cultural Calendar and City Guide and is featured online for the Syrian Culture, Arts and History Center in Montreal, Canada.
