Souad Nasr Makhoul

My professional background, City & Regional Planner, Practical civil engineering- Doctorate studies and Masters degree - graduated from the Technion- Instittute of technology in Haifa and managing private office- Center for Planning & Urban Studies based in Haifa city.
In addition I have a degree in fine art from Haifa university.
In my earlier works I was inspired by the remains of the old Palestinian Arab demolished quarters and expressed them very strongly in my works, In addition to a large series of documentary works : paintings, etchings and drawings of historical buildings and neighborhoods in Haifa and other cities, in which I expressed the significant urban design and architerctural motives.
My current paintings mainly express woman’s universal sentimentality and soul through the body language and the interaction with the nature in which I try to outline how aesthetic valuing is embedded in our relationship with nature, and its ecological aesthetic qualities such as variety, diversity and harmony.
In my acrylic works mostly I use to paint on recycled-environmental paper which has special texture effect, and as part of the debates about environmental protection.
