Twenty years of immigration life have given Nuha Sinno
ample opportunity for free expression. At this stage in her career,
she is taken by the notion of the Arabic language as art and of
her work as memories in translation. She is eager to pay tribute
to her love for the language. "I am grateful" she says,
"for this rich legacy of beauty and elegance that is the
Arabic alphabet."
Memories in Translation is a collection of three
works showing intricate lines and colors that coalesce into abstract
rendition of Arabic words and their meanings. These rich constructions
speak of her life as an Arab Muslim woman. Born in Beirut Lebanon,
Nuha Sinno is a graduate of the Lebanese University of Fine Art
as an Interior Designer, and worked in this field at the onset
of her career. Now as an Arab American, She has participated in
several group shows, and has been active in community events.
This exhibition of her latest pieces speaks to her continued commitment
to Arab culture, more specifically, its calligraphy. She currently
has a studio in Los Angeles.
