Description

The Look of Love explores love through a quiet, intimate gaze - a moment in which emotion is communicated without words. The woman's softly rendered face emerges from a predominantly monochromatic composition, her expression carrying a sense of tenderness, contemplation, and emotional connection. Her gaze is directed beyond the frame, creating the feeling that the most important part of the story exists just outside the visible image.Mona Omar combines expressive figurative painting with collage-like geometric elements, vivid fluorescent pink and orange, and textured purple and yellow forms. These unexpected bursts of colour interrupt the restrained grey palette like fragments of an emotional memory. The contrast between the soft, dissolving facial features and the sharply defined colourful shapes creates a tension between what is remembered and what is felt.The work reflects the artist's interest in emotional memory - how a single look, gesture, or moment of connection can remain vivid even as the details surrounding it gradually disappear. Here, colour becomes a language of feeling, while the partially fragmented composition suggests that love is often remembered not through a complete image, but through isolated sensations and emotional impressions.The Look of Love will particularly appeal to collectors of contemporary figurative and mixed-media art who are drawn to intimate narratives, emotional memory, and distinctive approaches to colour and composition. Its square format and combination of charcoal, grey, purple, fluorescent pink, orange, and yellow make it especially suitable for contemporary, modern, eclectic, or creative interiors, where it can serve as an expressive focal point. Medium: Mixed media on wood

Mona Omar, The Look of Love

Mona Omar

Egypt  • 1989

Presentation

Mona Omar Abdel-Aziz Hassan (b. 1989, Egypt) is a contemporary Egyptian artist, researcher, and lecturer whose figurative practice explores the emotional memory of human experience. Rather than depicting memories as fixed records of the past, she investigates how they evolve over time - fading, fragmenting, and quietly reshaping themselves through emotion.

Her distinctive visual language is characterised by monochromatic figurative painting inspired by vintage cinema and family photographs, interrupted by luminous fluorescent forms that cut through the image like emotional echoes. Figures gradually dissolve into expressive brushstrokes, their features suspended between appearance and disappearance, suggesting that memory is never preserved intact but continuously reconstructed. These fluorescent interventions become visual metaphors for hope, resilience, and the emotional intensity with which certain moments continue to exist long after they have passed.

Rather than documenting personal narratives, Mona transforms familiar scenes into universal reflections on love, motherhood, nostalgia, and human connection. The dialogue between dissolving forms and vibrant colour creates paintings that exist between reality and remembrance, where absence becomes as meaningful as presence.

Working across acrylic, oil, watercolor, and mixed media, she combines expressive painterly gestures with carefully structured compositions, creating works that are both emotionally intimate and visually striking.

Mona graduated with Honors from the Faculty of Applied Arts, Helwan University (now Capital University), in 2011, specialising in Ornamentation. She earned her Master's degree in Applied Arts in 2018 and completed her PhD in 2023. She is currently a lecturer at the Faculty of Applied Arts, Badr University in Cairo. Alongside her academic career, she has participated in numerous workshops and group exhibitions in Egypt and internationally, continuously expanding her dialogue between artistic research and contemporary painting.

Through her work, Mona Omar invites viewers to recognise fragments of their own emotional histories, revealing that memory is not a place we return to, but something we continually recreate.
