Eman Nasr

Artist Profile

Eman Nasr is a visual contemporary artist based in South-West Sydney, NSW. Guided by intuition, she blends together memory and imagination. The result is far from black or white. It is like an open ended question in bold colours inviting one to escape and explore. Eman Nasr is from Egyptian roots, born in New Jersey, USA, and later moved to live in the United Arab Emirates with her family. Before finally residing in Australia with her husband and children. Eman travelled a lot around the world and therefore finds herself deeply inspired by the uniqueness of different cultures and landscapes as well as her own life journey. She graduated in 1993 with a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce. However, Eman developed her interest in art during her early childhood while watching her mother, who was a professional artist herself, create beautiful and diverse artworks. This inspired and encouraged Eman to explore her own creativity and artistic sense at a very early age. She followed and developed her passion for art which continues to grow and evolve. Her latest certification was an Advanced Diploma in Visual Arts from Tafe, Meadowbank in 2023, and she previously completed many short art courses throughout the years. She now owns and runs an art studio called Colorful Life Art Studio where she provides art lessons. Alongside her own art journey as an artist, she wishes to continue passing on what she has learnt about art while inspiring others to enhance their creativity, artistic skills, and pursue their passion.

Artist Interview

What medium do you work with, and why have you chosen them?

My painting process is fun and spontaneous, often involving hidden collage under bright layers of acrylic paint. I love texture and the bright bold colours of acrylics.

How does your artwork get from initial concept to exhibition stage?

I allow my intuition and imagination to lead the process in creating my own dream like vibrant paintings. I aim to provoke a sense of escape and exploration in my artworks, challenging the viewer. Sometimes, I retrieve some memories along the way from certain places that I’ve been to, or images I haveseen that have interested me. I do not purely paint what my eyes see, but I rather paint as a response to how I feel. It feels liberating ignoring rules of realism and letting the colours of emotions flow on my canvas.

Can you tell us a little more about your creative working environment/studio?

I paint from my home garage studio l, which is called Colorful Life Art Studio, It is also a place I have founded and created to teach art to children.
