Sahar Hasan Bio
Sahar has been involved in art since an early age. She worked as an assistant professor of water photography at Brooklyn College, she coordinated art exhibitions in New York and evaluated art works for two art competitions in Yemen. She opened 4 solo shows and participated in over 50 group shows and biennales in USA, Yemen, Dubai, Egypt, Turkey, Italy, France, Bangladesh and Algeria as well as many virtual galleries.
She masters different mediums and techniques, but she often uses oil paints with some additions of acrylic paints, stained glasses as a reference to “ Qamaria, the windows of the moon”, and ancient fabrics. Most of her works show a harmonious combination of both realism and abstraction. Her preferred subject matters are mostly horses and portraits of people wearing traditional fabrics using her art to narrate their interesting stories and getting their voices heard as well as presenting the aesthetic aspects of Yemen.
Sahar added an interaction of both texts and traditional patterns, combining her love for both drawing and handwriting and striving to manifest the knowledge and beauty of the Arabic calligraphy, Yemen architecture and ancient cultures. This energetic application of a combination of colors, patterns and letters ties it all together presenting the story behind the painting as well as keeping a sense of vagueness to be interpreted by the viewer’s imagination.
