Sally Khoury Verified

My artistic journey has been dedicated to the portrayal of the contemporary woman, in all her beauty, power, and diversity. I have focused exclusively on portrait painting, seeking to capture the essence of each unique woman who represents my generation. My focus is to highlight the inherent strength and confidence that each woman possesses.

The subjects of my portraits are women who radiate femininity and power, with their eyes covered and immersed in blooming florals that extend beyond the canvas. By concealing their eyes, I invite a personal connection to the artwork, evoking a sense of familiarity and universality. The solid background serves to complement and emphasize the woman, while the floral crowns are a striking combination of large blooming florals and small wildflowers, symbolizing the mystic and whimsical aspects of nature. The integration of woman and nature creates a dual force that elevates and supports both their importance.

My work celebrates the diversity of women from all cultures and backgrounds, and aims to inspire and uplift women by reminding them of their innate beauty, strength, and resilience. I hope that when women view my paintings, they are empowered by the feminine spirit and recognize their own unique qualities. Through my art, I strive to create a celebration of the beauty and power of women.
