Alia EL-BERMANI ✿

Alia E. El-Bermani is a contemporary realist whose principal subjects include women and still lifes. Working from a subdued palette, El-Bermani's paintings question traditional notions of beauty and femininity even as she works in a style that celebrates more conventional beauty ideals. El-Bermani is part of the vanguard of young artists working in figurative realism to achieve new ends.
Born and raised just south of Boston, Alia E. El-Bermani spent most of her childhood enjoying the outdoors and discovering the natural history of the southern shore of Massachusetts. She spent many hours after school and weekends on birding trips with a friend whose father was the director of the Massachusetts Audubon Society. These adventures stimulated Ms. El-Bermani’s desire to seek curiosities as well as developed her keen sense of observation and discovery.
