Alia El-Bermani "Nocturne (self portrait)" 2006
|
Contemporary painter
Alia El-Bermani is the mother of two young children and this painting shows a dedicated artist squeezing some studio time into a full domestic life after the children have gone to bed. As many mother-artists have found, that quiet alone time in the studio, even just a short space of time, can be enough to "grease the engine" for another busy day to come.
El-Bermani attended the Laguna College of Art and Design, where she won many of that institution's student awards. She is represented by Sullivan Goss Gallery in Santa Barbara California and The Loft Gallery in Puerta Vallerta, Mexico. El-Bermani is included in the current
Converge exhibition in NYC.

I have carved many hours of creative time the same way. She sure captures it!
Beautiful self-portrait-one of my favorites of Alia El-Bermani's work. The chiaroscuro is very effective in enhancing the expression and feeling.
Great to see the artist in her studio setting.
