Samar Metwali

After years of working in abstract during college years, I began to appreciate Canadian nature to the point that I felt, painting in realistic style will be fair enough to the amazing Canadian Nature. Also my talent became more obvious in realistic style. Expressing my feelings in colors and lights is the most important thing in my paintings. Each color and light has its own feeling. And harmony comes naturally if the artist is being pure and honest about his or her feelings. This is how I turn my paintings into a poem or a symphony to please myself and others. It’s a wonderful feeling to look at a painting and feel the happiness inside your heart.

Samar was born in Alexandria, Egypt in 1970. In 1998 she moved to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. After graduating from the faculty of Fine Arts – University of Alexandria with an Honorary degree in 1992 as a Set Designer, Samar became a Freelance Illustrator and Graphic Designer. Powered by a natural talent and passion for colours in Canadian Nature, she used her knowledge about beauty theories, prospective drawing, theatrical design, photography and lights on the stage, to become one of the most successful artists in capturing the light in her paintings. Samar works mostly in Oils, Acrylics and Watercolor.
