Jumana al Husseini :- PALESTINE

Born in Jerusalem in 1932. Works and lives in Paris.

"I am still painting in Jerusalem ... before I was painting the houses,the people, the scenes of Jerusalem, but now I am painting what is under Jerusalem...to me it's like the archeologist who's brushing layers of sand each day and what he can find from the days past , from our ancestors. So this really gives me hope.... I go back to the earth to see what we had in the past ...to give me energy.... feeling for living."
