A study of entanglement, this piece captures the merging of two figures so intimately connected that their forms dissolve into one. The body is no longer singular but a shared space of comfort and surrender. Foreground and background blur, echoing the universal human need for closeness.
About Rima Ghanem
Rima Ghanem was born near the Lebanese mountain of Sannine in 1973.
She started her career in 1999 as an interior Designer graduating from ALBA/UoB University but soon after started teaching in both universities, Art related courses to foundation year students.
Her path as the visual storyteller as she likes to call herself is deeply rooted in her lifetime experience as a daughter, sister, and wife, and mostly empathetic and strongly rooted Lebanese woman-child, both in her inward emotional reactions and outside active productions.
Her Illustrations (miniatures varying from A4 to A5 paper formats) are simple, straightforward, and embedded in female culture and existence. Past, present and future. She expresses herself with simple media (markers, ink, pencils) and pays special care to the relation between background and foreground, contrast, composition, and colors.
She believes Art should be spread worldwide, and be accessible and affordable to all those who relate to it.
Today, she continues to teach, draw and love.
