For those who appreciate profound artistic expression, this exhibition is for you. Pulse: Forms and Colours offers a deep dive into the relationship between colour, emotion, experience, and form. It explores abstraction and tactile surfaces while examining the human experience, from memory to identity. Let’s meet the artists behind the works.

Jaida Zakaria

With a background in electrical engineering, Zakaria later found her true calling in visual art, where emotion and colour take centre stage. Active in the art scene since the 1990s, she has cultivated a practice that channels personal sensations and conceptual ideas into visually absorbing compositions. An active member of the Fine Arts Syndicate, her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions across Egypt and beyond, including prominent national showcases and international events such as the Salon d’Automne and the General Exhibition held at the Palace of Art in Paris.

Wafa Nashashibi

Wafa is an artist who values balance in her work. She aims to reflect the balance between risk, harmony, and freedom, creating pieces that invite viewers to contemplate their deeper meanings. She often uses colour as a catalyst to explore human emotions connected to injustice and suffering.

Zeina Soliman

A lover of layering, she recently graduated from Central Saint Martins. Her work explores material memory and the sensations of touch. Combining interiors, fashion, and design, her practice creates canvases that burst with stimulation and reflect her passion for bringing all of her interests together.

Hala Noaman Ashour

Moving fluidly between writing and visual art, she develops her work through a richly layered creative perspective. Years of experience producing journalistic pieces, theatrical scripts, and television narratives have shaped her understanding of storytelling beyond the written word. These influences surface in her visual practice, where ideas, structure, and emotion intersect to form imagery that reflects a synthesis of multiple artistic disciplines. Through this fusion, she has established a visual language that is both personal and informed by a broad range of creative traditions.
