Zainab AlHawaj Born in the early 80s, I’ve always had a deep love for science and the mysteries of the universe. This passion led me to study astrophysics, where I spent years exploring the wonders of space—a journey that profoundly shaped both my outlook on life and my sense of self. For some time, I worked in the field before stepping into my own private business. Life hasn’t always been easy, and my diagnosis with bipolar disorder brought its own set of challenges. But in those difficult moments, I found solace in art. Painting and drawing became my refuge, a way to express emotions that words couldn’t capture. Through colors, I began to heal, and in the process, I discovered a new passion. Today, art is not just an escape but a celebration of the beauty I find in the world around me. Traveling and being in nature inspire my creativity and fuel my desire to capture the harmony I see. I’ve never felt more connected to myself or the world, and I pour that love and discovery into every piece I create. My art is my story, my journey, and a reflection of the peace I’ve found within.
