Maha lives and works in London.
She paints on canvas with oil paints. She loves this medium for the challenges and the malleability it offers. Each painting is crafted over months owing to the layers she uses to finish the effects in the image.
Drawing on an archive of references of collected imagery and backgrounds she works through her compositions to create deeper angles and visually exciting paintings. With figuration at the centre of her work, she uses colour fields to capture and create light and layers of space in her imagery. Found images and her own aesthetic intuition guides her choices when putting the final reference together. She is principally interested in playing with levels of focus and includes viewpoints that invite the viewer to experience the scene, including them as a part of it.
