Painting by Manar Harb

11” x 14” (oil and pastel) 

Manar Harb grew up in Filastteen, Palestine, Occupied Territories. Early influences come from her family’s deep interest in literature, and science, and trade. Drawing and writing poetry from an early age formed a connection and bond with these artforms that continue to develop and grow.

About the Painting

“Reading the poems by the featured poets in the first issue of the Barahm Press Digital Protection Spell Folio connected me deeper with poetry and painting. For the first time, I was drawing lines of moments I had felt inside and read through the words of another poet.

The presence of everything inside me
Everything we are made up of
Everything making us

Water

Soil

Trees

Noise

Lapses in and of time

And Gazza”
