Malak Mattar
Artist from Gaza
She first started painting at age 13. During the 51 days Israeli military assault on Gaza in 2014. Forced to stay inside for her own safety, she felt a compelling need to release all of her fear, anxiety and sheer terror. She started painting with art supplies from her school, basic watercolour on paper. This opened up a world of self- expression for her. She has now produced over 300 paintings, and exhibited her art all around the world.
