rima

Visual artist and novelist Rima Hikmat Hilal from Suwayda Syria

 Born in 1990 

 Her talent for drawing began since her childhood, when she loved spending a long time with her colors and her sketchbook.

 Her passion for drawing encouraged her to study at the Institute of Fine Arts, and she was not satisfied with the institute’s experiences, but worked to hone her talent herself.

 Then she completed her studies at the College of Arts and Human Sciences, specializing in natural geography. After completing her studies, she devoted herself to drawing and established a small studio that embraced her talent and the talents of other villagers.

 As part of her artistic career, she met the exceptional talent of a girl named Yasmine Tayseer Hilal, 22 years old, from the same village, who studies architecture, the specialty that brings a creative sense to her distinguished artistic talent. 

 With one hand, one energy, and one spirit, the true beginning of their work was in oil and charcoal colors, and with the completion of the painting that they paint, a unique and integrated feeling is created, so you imagine that it embraces a soul within it.

 As they leave a trace of light and color that touches the soul and elevates it.

 This is what we have been trying to convey in this article

 These works touched the bottom of the soul and addressed the mind with joint paintings that embodied everything that is tangible with tangible color spots that brought us into their private space, trying to create a different pattern and style.  Because the arts, including painting, cross all times and all places, their choice was to believe in an idea and immortalize it with a painting, and the beginning of this idea was the painting of the soul in three parts and many works that you can only contemplate… 

 The artist and writer Rima also crowned her first novel with the title (Crossing 63), edited by Marah Munif Al-Nadaf. This novel is considered an extension of her oil paintings, intellectually and aesthetically.  It transports us to a parallel world and a spiritual journey that makes us leave our bodies to enter another time. It is a dream-provoking novel for thought to reconsider everything around us.
