Kinda Hibrawi's artwork is a passionate journey of femininity, spirituality and
cultural convergence. Of Syrian descent, she grew up between Saudi Arabia,
Syria, Lebanon, and the United States. Through her studies she began to expand
on the ancient tradition of Arabic Calligraphy by giving it a modern twist. As an
Arab American, she felt the need for her artwork to reflect the richness of the
Middle East coupled with Western diversity. Hibrawi's original work is sought by
collectors worldwide and has exhibited in galleries across the US. Her 2007 solo
exhibition in Washington DC was a great success and she was named "an
artistic ambassador" by Arab News. As an artistic ambassador she lectures on
her work nationwide, recently she was invited to speak at the School of Visual
Fine Arts in New York City. She was asked by the City of Los Angeles to premiere
her work in their 2006 and 2011 Cultural Calendar and City Guide, and is
featured online for the Syrian Culture, Arts and History Center in Montreal,
Canada. Her work has been acquired for the permanent collection at the Arab
American National Museum in Detroit, Michigan. In 2008 she was selected by
the US Art in Embassies Program to showcase her work for the United States
Permanent Representative to NATO Ambassador Kurt Volker in Brussels,
Belgium. As a result, she was invited by the US State Department to showcase
her artwork in a 2010 US Embassy wall calendar, to be distributed to US
embassies worldwide. She hopes to continue bridging cultural
misunderstandings between Arabs and Americans through her work.
Hibrawi is currently working on an her first international three city solo art show
in Saudi Arabia, scheduled for December of 2011. She is also the Art Curator for
Cafe Chiarini, an Art Cafe in California.
