Nabila Hilmi
Palestine, b.1941-2011
Nabila Hilmi read law at the Jesuit University in Beirut before going to Beirut University College (at present Lebanese American University) where she studied art, graduating in 1973, after which she joined the Art Student League in New York. Her strong drawing capabilities in Chinese brush assist her in building up her semi-abstract compositions where mass, line and colour play equal roles regardless of the media she uses.
