Nawaf Al-Hmeli was born
in 1976. An Aircraft Engineer
and a self taught
Kuwaiti artist with a passion
for Realism, Symbolism
and Surrealism whose
name stood out in a very
short period of time and
became one of the vanguard
names in Kuwaiti
art movement today. Although
he started drawing
& painting when he was
very little he never got the
chance to study Fine Arts
but he was keen on learning
and improving his
technique and style on his
own. Becoming a professional
artist never crossed
Nawaf’s mind until he participated
in his first ever
exhibition in 2004 which
echoed in his favor and
harvested great critiques’
reviews.
