Influenced from her communist politician father and her mother’s strong character, Hala al-Faisal’s life and art has been imbued by leftist politics, women’s rights and her own determination. This painting, “Le rouge et le bleu”, depicts a dark and stormy landscape with a red sky, illuminated by groups of flowers - pockets of light in the storm.  A unique rendering, this beautiful landscape is full of strong emotions and powerful colors in contrast with traditional landscapes.

Influenced from her communist politician father and her mother’s strong character, Hala al-Faisal’s life and art has been influenced by leftist politics, women’s rights and her own determination. She devoted a major portion of her artistic production to women as a direct result of her childhood environment. The work “Untitled” depicts a woman painting on a canvas, in a possible self-portrait of the artist, herself.
