Here
you will find some of Najwa's private paintings,
most of which are views of Palestine. They are
a fresh insight into the workings of her books
and psyche, each painting a window into a foreign
land filled with promise. Najwa concentrates her
images around the beautiful scenery that is Palestine,
refering to the symbolic olive tree in many of
the images as well as well known historic landmarks.
The
relationship between these images and the books
are in many ways bound by a common goal, to see
a country which has been torn apart by war, brought
back to its original beauty along with its people.
All
images use watercolour.
