Soraya ChemalySoraya Chemaly - “My paintings have been heavily influenced by my childhood in the Bahamas, where I was regularly exposed to Haitian and Caribbean art. The art of Haiti in particular is infused with flowers and plants that take on a life of their own and often representing, in the primitive style, people, gestures, moods and symbols.”Chemaly began her career painting exclusively in watercolors, then decided to take up oil painting. Her works consists mainly of large-scale flowers painted in vivid, contemporary, contrasting colors. They convey a simplicity and beauty, happiness and serenity and take on a life of their own, often evoking dance, gestures and moods. Chemaly has been a resident of Washington, DC for 18 years. She is self-taught, having completed an AB in History from Georgetown University and a publishing program at Radcliffe College. Artwork
