About Amal Géara Kamar
Paintings- Sculptures- Chinese ink wash
Amal Kamar’s artwork is both conceptual and embodied, inspired and mastered. It reflects life and movement. It comes in geometric curves and small spirals side by side which, through their continuity, restore the dynamics of gestures and shapes. We recognize her vigorous and swirling brushstrokes that maintain the figures in their initial course and describe their movement in space and time. We find the same dynamic in her terracotta sculptures, .
