| Your Personal Biography |
A close friend of Najwa wrote this about her:
Najwa is an american artist who lives in Baltimore, Maryland.
She was born and raised in Baghdad and lived in the capital
until the late 1990s. Back when she was a child, she often
traveled alongside her father, who was a university teacher
and administrator, to Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon and United
Arab Emirates. Najwa M. Jasim al-Amin graduated from the
American High School in Baghdad and later earned an
Engineering degree at the University of Baghdad.
One of her mentors is the Iraqi artist, Nathira al-Kuttab,
who lives now in Spain. Another mentor was her late father,
Mohamed Jasim al-Amin, an Iraqi poet who introduced her to
the milieu of art and literature when Najwa was sixteeen.
Al-Amin's medium is oil on paper, board and canvas. The work
celebrates a boundless world of images and figures in soft
as well as strong tones. 'Wars and conflicts left no colors
in the middle east desert's life', she says. 'So I put them
into my art, to turn sadness into happiness and replace
anger with peace' Her paintings express the passion of an
ancient culture, and her techniques are as diverse as east and west can be.
