Malak Mattar
Malak Mattar (b. 1999) is an artist from the Gaza Strip, Palestine. She paints expressionist faces, figures and semi-abstract designs. Malak started painting at the age of thirteen. During the 51-day Israeli military assault on Gaza in 2014 that forced her to stay inside her house, she felt a compelling need to release all her pent-up emotions. She started painting with basic art supplies from her school. That opened up a world of self-expression for her. Mattar has produced over 300 paintings.
