BiographyAmal Kenawy was born in 1974 in Cairo, Egypt.[2] She showed an interest in film, art and fashion design from an early age. In her childhood, Amal used to make her own clothes from any fabric she could find. Her parents struggled financially and Amal was the youngest of four children. Her artistic studies began at the Egypt Cinema Institute. In 1999 she received her undergraduate degree in painting, from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Helwan University.[2] She started her artistic career as a student, collaborating with her older brother, Abdel Ghany Kenawy. Their collaboration resulted in a large number of artworks ranging from sculptures, compositions and videos.[2] Their work gained several awards and international recognition, including UNESCO's Grand Prize at the International Cairo Biennale.[2] Amal married Shady Elnoshokaty, a contemporary artist who helped her at the beginning of her career. After they divorced Amal lived with her son, Yassin. Her solo work drew upon a more intimate approach. She used her own body alongside representations of fragile materials, animals and objects, to express mental and physical pain and address themes such as birth, marriage, death, dreams and memory.[3][1] Amal Kenawy died on August 19, 2012 at the age of 38 after a long battle with leukemia.[4] She was an iconic, female artist, respected for her creativity and deep devotion to her work, though tragically short-lived.[4] Her work is collected by major public collection, such as Arab Museum of Modern Art in Qatar and the Sharjah Art Foundation in the UAE, and exhibited in major biennials such as Dakar Biennale and Sharjah Biennial.[1] Notable work
