Reem Al Refaie

Born in the 90s, Reem Al-Refaie is an artist who started off creating drawings inspired by the cartoons she grew up with. Art became an important tool for expression, and she began to develop this as she undertook evening classes during her time in Plymouth. As she began to explore her artistic voice, she found inspiration in a variety of places, such as modern skater aesthetic and early 20th century expressionism. Although naive, her art explores the world around her with a playful and almost sarcastic view.  Growing up in the digital age, her art is predominantly digital – where she explores how to create a sense of texture in a 2D medium.
