Experience a burst of color and energy with "Awakening", a textured abstract painting by Nada Khatib. Its extra thick texture and spectacular bold colors create a striking visual enhanced by reflective gold leaf.
Nada Khatib is a Mississauga-based palette knife painter who explores the convergence of reality and fantasy with lively textures in the impasto technique. Her impressionistic work seeks to accentuate the reality of beautiful creations with surrealist colour. Nada captures the natural world in breath-taking form to inspire viewers to connect more deeply to the world around them.
Nada’s artwork has been exhibited extensively in Canada, is held in hundreds of private collections around the world and was published in Canadian magazine, Living Hyphen. She was also awarded a sponsorship with the RBC Emerging Visual Artists Program including an exhibition at Arts Commons, the largest arts centre in Western Canada
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My paintings reflect a fantasy world where the reality of natural creations merge with dramatic and surrealist colour. My use of colour and thick paint to create texture combined with bursts of colour and intricate designs makes my artwork feel alive. I paint to bring more colour and joy to the world and reflect the way in which various forms of life are interconnected. I allow my intuition to guide me throughout the process, which is when I most often find myself creating fascinating new techniques. My aim is for my artwork to evoke a sense of grounding, hope and connection to the deeper world around us.
