Christine El Ojeil is a<br />
talented artist whose<br />
passion for painting was<br />
ignited at a young age. It<br />

art and embarked on a journey<br />
of artistic exploration. Eager<br />
to expand her knowledge and<br />
refine her technique, Christine<br />

reflection of her thoughts and<br />
experiences, drawing inspiration<br />
from the tapestry of life itself.<br />
She primarily works with oil on<br />
canvas, harnessing the medium’s<br />
rich pigmentation and smooth texture<br />
to create visually captivating<br />
compositions. Supported by her<br />
loving family and the appreciation<br />
of fellow art enthusiasts, Christine’s<br />
brushstrokes tell unique<br />
stories, conveying her emotions<br />
and deepest feelings. Her artwork<br />
