Hala Faisal

Once called the "Most important artist in Syria", Hala Al-Faisal was born to be an artist.

From a very young age in her native Syria, Hala felt compelled to express herself through the arts. Pursuing her passion has not always come easy for Hala, who was born into a prominent political family that pressured her to follow a more conservative career path in medicine or pharmaceuticals. But, Hala would not comprimise. She followed her heart and her love for the arts and grew to become a true citizen of the world studying and perfecting her craft in many globally diverse settings including Moscow, Paris, New York, and Berlin, where she now practices. She is fluent in many languages including Arabic, Russian, French, Spanish, German, and English... read more here: ?gallery=about_1
