“Jumana’s brush and colors carried her to the playgrounds of childhood, to Jerusalem, to Jericho and Jaffa, though all of Palestine’s cities, villages and landscapes are present in her art works. 

The important aspect in Jumana El Husseini’s paintings is the presence of refined and delicate elements such as birds, butterflies, flowers and sunsets along with elements of force and stability such as horses, tigers, panthers, houses, trees, mainly the prickle pear tree, a symbol of resistance and belonging. Aren’t all these figures and forms renderings of childhood memories carried by Jumana from the land of Palestine, especially Jerusalem where she was born, to the various exiles after being obliged to leave her beloved country?”
