Difficulties of life (2010) 绘画 由 Afaf Khalil

My name is Afaf Khalil, born in Queens, New York city. My parents are Egyptians, and I spent about 9 years in Egypt. God gave me a gift which is art, not only in drawing and painting, but also in fashion designing, music, dancing, writing poems...and a few more talents in my daily life.
I have always loved art and appreciated artists, unfortunately people in Egypt didn’t, well... some of them did, but I kept fighting and that made me do more artwork, but it was full of sadness and pain. My artworks is the reflection of what i see and feel when there is no one to talk to. When the world seems to be dark and refusing me...and when the loved ones abandon me for no reason, with all the love I gave to them, when life seems to be over, and there is no place that can fit me, there is only art, that can give me a new hope and a new power...and it makes me feel stronger.
God has made each one of us for a reason, though I'm not here just to eat and drink, and my greatest dream isn't being rich and popular, I'm here for greater things, one of my goals is to rebuild the world on peace and love, on honest and trust, faith and believing. We are all one body, if a part of it is been damaged, then the whole body is badly effected. Reaching goals isn't easy, but only if we look forward, keeping the faith and the ability to reach it, then we'll reach sooner or later.
It depends on how long could you survive, with all the exams that you been through. I want to be a professional artist and I know I could, it's a talent, because there is no way I can stop art, it runs in my veins, everything to me is art, different colors with different shapes and images, nature around us is full of beauty, we shouldn't ignore all that and look to the dark side of life.
