Fann A Porter Gallery, Rima Moukahal solo show “Your Heart Knows The Way.Run In That Direction ‘’  

We couldn't be more proud of our short listed finalist Rima Moukahal ! And as a further testament to her talent, we are thrilled to invite you to attend her solo exhibition.

Rima Moukahal's Heart Collection is a powerful and thought-provoking body of work that explore the emotional and spiritual aspects of the heart.

Rima Moukahal is a Lebanese artist who has always been fascinated by colours and painting. Her journey in the art world began at an early age when she was offered a scholarship to study drawing in Italy, but the civil war in Lebanon put a pause to her artistic pursuits for nearly two decades. After spending many years in the corporate

sector, Moukahal decided to follow her passion for art and explore all its aspects. She was mentored by prominent Arab artists in Beirut, Cairo and Dubai, and her art is mostly classified as abstract expressionism influenced by her personal emotional and psychological reactions to collective human experience. 

Her works have been exhibited in various galleries and exhibitions, including the Shortlist for the Annual Award of The Art Circle 2022, Made in Tashkeel 2022, and Index Dubai 2021, among others.She is currently a full-time member of her studio at Tashkeel.
