“The Unconscious Eye” by local Matagorda County artist Zeinab Ghais will open Nov. 3 and run through Dec. 23 at the City by the Sea Museum.
Zeinab Ghais brings a unique perspective in this body of work.
She began each piece with meditation and prayer, allowing her subconscious and superconscious to speak to her.
“I wanted to relinquish all control and just allow the canvases to speak to me,” she said.
Zeinab Ghais has been working as a fine artist for over 30 years, drawing upon her unique upbringing, training and skillful eye to infuse color, textures and natural influences.
She earned a BFA in Furniture Design and a minor in art history from Savannah College of Art & Design in Savannah, GA. Trained to paint photo-like portraits, Zeinab also enjoys the freedom of painting abstract art and creating unique mixed media collages.
She teaches a mixture of art classes to both children and adults.
A creative person by nature, Zeinab relishes in challenging herself to push outside her comfort zone as an artist, by trying different techniques and mediums.
We invite you to the Artist Reception with Zeinab Ghais on Saturday, Nov. 4 from 3 to 5 p.m.
