Kinda Hibrawi's artwork is a passionate journey of
femininity, spirituality and cultural convergence. Of
Syrian descent, she grew up between Saudi Arabia,
Syria, Lebanon, and the United States. 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. Hibrawi's original work is sought by
collectors worldwide and has exhibited in galleries
across the US. As well as in the permanent collection
of the Arab American Museum. Her 2007 solo
exhibition in Washington DC was a great success and
she was named "an artistic ambassador" by Arab
News. In 2008 her paintings were selected by the
Artists in Embassies Program for Ambassador Kurt
Volker, the U.S. Representative to NATO. As an artistic
ambassador she lectures on her work nationwide,
recently she was invited to speak at the School of
Visual Fine Arts in New York City. Hibrawi runs a
portrait studio MyPopArt.com in California and hopes
to continue bridging cultural misunderstandings
between Arabs and Americans through her artwork.
She is currently represented by Ayse Turgut in New
York and the Chiarini Gallery in California.
