Artist Dowa Hattem finds joy in capturing nature's essence, a source of joy in life. She paints flowing floral abstracts, translating intricate human emotions through forms and colors. I use different techniques, palettes, styles, and textures according to the changing conditions of nature, says Dowa. With an M.A. in Painting and a Ph.D. in Philosophy, she is currently a university professor in the Faculty of Applied Arts in Egypt. A selection of her works grace the walls of the Egyptian Ministry of Culture and the Museum of Modern Art in Cairo. Dowa paints outdoors and adds final touches in her studio. Whether in her ample Cairo space surrounded by a garden or a smaller workroom in Spain with plants and flowers, she paints to the tunes of Eastern music and classical compositions. Dowa constantly sees the world through the eyes of an artist, drawing inspiration from her surroundings, people, and dreams to create captivating paintings.
