Hi, I’m Mona Al-Qanai
I am A visual anthropologist and a multidisciplinary visual artist. I WORK across various mediums and disciplines.
Human stories and experiences inspire my artwork, which celebrates life in its positive and negative aspects, much like the complex yet meditative art I create.
Inspired by personal stories, narratives, and fragments of memories from people and places.
My artwork is very narrative and personal, but it relates to everyone.
