My story
Ahlam Amrani is a self-taught fine abstract artist, that has embarked on a meandering path towards her true calling. Born and raised in the Netherlands, in the city of Leiden, where Rembrandt once walked the streets and began his gift of painting to the world. Brought up with the belief that success lies in a conventional career, she pursued an MSc degree in Public Administration, immersing herself in the Dutch public field for years. However, destiny had a different plan for her. The birth of her two daughters from 2018 sparked a profound revelation. Her path to happiness diverged from the conventional career she had pursued, guiding her to her true calling in abstract painting. Revisiting her childhood passions of fine art and poetry, she uncovered a concealed love for fine abstract art that had slumbered, awaiting its awakening.
DREAMS AS A MUSE
Ahlam found inspiration during this phase of reflection and soul-searching. She discovered that her deepest dreams and desires, in line with her very name, ‘Ahlam,’ echoing ‘dreams’ in Arabic, served as a muse.
