Marwa is a young talented artist with great ability and sensitivity in modeling her
characters and landscapes in a majestic world playing masterly with the concept of
shadow and light. She yearns to communicate her inner psyche, her struggles and her
absolute being. “These are the incidents of my Life” Adel says. She is not interested in
exchanging ideas but rather in communicating how it feels to live in a world where
women live to fulfill societal needs and the wishes of others. She adds rhythm to her
work by taking traditional elements wrapping and twisting them to create contemporary
pieces with an oriental edge. Attractive nudes wrapped in calligraphy and seductive
outlines of youth full figures twisting and bending to display the innermost feelings and
passions yet with a hint of discretion.
