Mona Youssef’s Summary

I am Canadian fine artist with passion for art since childhood. My first oil painting was sold at age of 12. I exhibited my oil paintings nationally and internationally and received numerous awards from first & second place awards, Honorable Mention, Viewers’ Choice Awards to Certificate of Excellence Award.

My profile was published in many local, national & international publications such as “Who is who in Visual Art”, Germany, “Florence Biennale Catalog”, and Chianciano Biennale and in Ferrara, Italy, “Gallery & Studio” magazine (The world of the Working Artist) NYC, “Chamber of Commerce Courier”, CA, "The sounds of art" DK, and in many Press Releases as a feature artist such as “Arteast Newsletter”, “Gloucester Art Council” and “Ottawa Art Association”, CA. Mona has a B.F.A and measured in Interior and Exterior designs, Egypt - Commercial Arts Diploma - Certificate of Achievement in Digital Media and Desktop Publishing with Honor Award, CA. She was commissioned to produce oil painting of the Canadian Constitution Acts which was presented to the Prime Minister of Canada Mr. Pierre E. Trudeau 1982. 1999, Mona had received a letter of thanks and appreciation from Mr. P. E. Trudeau."

I believe that art is a manifestation of love, loving the nature around us and the people we share our world with. When we truly love what we do, we do it whole-souled and become professionals at it. Art is a powerful tool and a silent International language that can convey messages to the world reflecting culture, history and civilization. This language can speak up, announce, make known, unify, bring together, support, encourage, share, care for, show compassion and kind feelings toward all. In two words; Art is to LOVE.”
