Paint that moves.

I paint faces, stories and wedding nights, some of them live in front of the guests. When the brushes are down, I dance: I teach Zumba as Coach Nana. Welcome to my exhibition.

02 · My daughter, 2021

Come closer. It is all brushwork.

This is my daughter, painted in 2021. From across the room it is a portrait. Up close it becomes what it really is: hundreds of small decisions, one brushstroke at a time.

03 · Live painting

Your wedding, painted while it happens.

I set up my easel at the wedding or the henna night and paint the couple live, for about three hours, while the guests watch the canvas come to life. The first lines become the evening you will keep.

04 · Lady in red

Then the colour starts to dance.

In Lady in red the skirt is still turning. Painting taught me to see movement; dancing taught me to feel it. This is where my two worlds meet.

05 · Coach Nana

Zumba changed my life.

I am a licensed Zumba instructor, and on the floor I am Coach Nana: music up, energy high, everyone moving. Sport is not a choice, it is a need.

Live painting · Weddings and henna nights

A memory, painted in front of your eyes.

ليست مجرد رسمة، بل ذكرى تُرسم أمام أعينكم، وتبقى للأبد

Not just a painting: a memory painted in front of you that stays forever. I paint the couple during the celebration, so the guests see it begin as pencil lines and leave as a finished canvas.

  1. 1

    Tell me the night

    The date, the venue and the occasion: wedding, engagement, henna night or another celebration.

  2. 2

    I set up at the venue

    Easel, canvas and paints, in a corner where your guests can watch.

  3. 3

    About three hours of painting

    From the first sketch to the final details, live, while the evening happens around it.

  4. 4

    Guest sketches

    I can also sketch your guests in their outfits on gilt-edged cards, a keepsake they take home.

The details nobody else sees.

I also film weddings from behind the scenes: the preparations, the flowers, the coffee, the oud, the dress before anyone sees it. Filmed on iPhone and ready on the same night, so you can share it while the music is still playing.
