Kittaba Prints - Tala Abunawar

About the Artist: 

Tala Abunuwar is a Jordanian-Palestinian, Massachusetts-based, mixed media contemporary artist who captures her spiritual journey through her artwork. She is known for following her intuition and mixing Arabic calligraphy, poetry, and the Sufi world of “Rumi” to represent strong themes of spiritual awareness, divine presence and oneness in her art. She paints to guide herself and others to close the eye of the self and awaken the eye of the soul!

After a spiritual awakening, Abunuwar left her corporate job to follow her dream of becoming the artist she feels she was meant to be. In July 2020, Abunuwar and her family left their lives in Jordan and moved to the United States. During COVID lockdown, she found solace in her art and started creating on paper and fabric using Arabic calligraphy and contemporary mixed media. Abunuwar has participated in many exhibitions in the USA, Bahrain, Jordan, Italy and Spain. Thanks to these gallery shows and her social media presence her artwork has found homes in many cities around the world. It has an especially strong presence in the US, UK, Canada, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.
