25 Before 25
Small paintings. Big moments.
To celebrate my 25th birthday, I set myself a little challenge: to create 25 original paintings before turning 25.
Inspired by travels through Italy, France, Greece, Spain, and beyond, as well as the everyday moments closer to home, each painting captures something that made me stop and look twice. A sunlit doorway, flowers exchanged between an elderly couple, a very proud duck, a favorite afternoon ritual, or a memory held close.
Together, these 25 little paintings are a collection of places, people, and details that have stayed with me. Some are grand, some are ordinary, and some are simply a little bit silly. All of them mean something to me.
I wanted to share not only the paintings, but the stories behind them, too. Because sometimes the smallest moments are the ones we carry with us longest.
This collection is a celebration of the world as I see it, the memories that have shaped me, and the little girl who once dreamed of making beautiful things.
Thank you for being here and for being part of this chapter of Art & Amira.
