Joumana was a gifted child, always known in her school for her remarkable talent in painting. Her teachers and classmates admired the way she effortlessly brought colors to life, turning simple canvases into breathtaking scenes. Art was more than a hobby for her—it was a language through which she expressed her deepest emotions and creativity.
She was a natural for artistic freedom—free expression using oil pastels. Unlike the structured and disciplined world of studies, this form of art allowed her to explore emotion and movement in its rawest form.
The softness of the pastels, the depth of white in its many shades, and the way light played on the textures gave her a sense of release and boundless creativity.
Her artistic journey took a profound turn during an unexpected class, where she was introduced to the ancient art of icon writing. The precision, the symbolism, and the spiritual depth captivated her instantly. It was no longer just about painting—it was about storytelling, devotion. With every brushstroke, she felt a deeper connection to the tradition, as if she had discovered a calling she never knew existed.
