Rima Moukahal

Rima Moukahal is a Lebanese self-taught artist. Her fascination with colour and painting started at a young age. 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 a long career in the corporate world, she decided to return to her passion and explore all its aspects.

Rima pursued intensive private courses in drawing and painting, mentored and guided by prominent Arab artists in Cairo, Beirut and Dubai. Her practice is rooted in Abstract Expressionism inspired by her personal emotional and psychological reactions to collective human experiences.

When creating, she trusts intuition to guide her completely through an unplanned inner spiritual journey. She uses colours, gestures, layers and movements to transfer her emotions onto canvas. Moukahal works with acrylic, overlay with stucco, collages, and stitching to create her pieces.

Rima is a member of Tashkeel.
