Anfal AlKandari

Statement

Anfal is a Kuwaiti/Qatari hybrid visual artist based in Qatar. Her primary interest is digital illustration, installations and mixed media. During her MA Visual Arts degree from the University of the Arts London (UAL), she took her art practice a step further through learning how she can transform her personal experience to the audience. Recently she is looking into themes such as the inner child, dark and light shadow within the human self and parallel universes. Through each project she tends to make these experiences inclusive and interactive to spark audience curiosity and invite them to self reflect.

GlogauAIR Project

For this project I want to continue exploring personal human behavior and emotions and how they come to the surface within myself. These emotions mediate and overlap and they include the inner child, dark and light shadow within the human self and parallel universes. The colors and mediums used in my work juxtapose with the complexity of these topics as I will focus on mixing multiple digital elements such as manipulating photographs, digital illustration, animation and video. Although the concept of my upcoming project will serve as a continuation to my previous work, I plan to widen the range of used materials and techniques and explore printing on unconventional mediums, enrich my work with new elements and include sound as a new area of investigation.
