NENA TAHIL

Having lived in South East Asia, Egypt and America, my multi-cultural background has nurtured my appreciation of differences and my ability to meld them into a harmonious unity.

My style is inspired by my favorite artists whose styles are divergent – Mondrian and Chagall. Silk allows me to create the fusion of modern geometrical design with ethereal imaginations.

Through my works I translate feelings and memories of places and events while expressing the juxtapositions of life. Silk as a medium is strong, yet delicate. Painting on silk is a balance between control and fluidity. The painting methods I apply to my works are both simple yet complex. The intrinsic nature of silk and the various techniques I use reinforce my life perspective… “When striving for perfection, delight in the mystery of possibilities and surprises and contemplate the unique beauty of imperfections.”
