Artist Ibtihal Muhammad Bajunaid, her interest in fine art began at a young age. She was a regular attender of fine art exhibitions with her media father (Muhammad Bajunaid) during his meetings with major artists such as the artist (Safia Bin Zagr), the artist (Taha Al-Sabban), the artist (Nawal Musli), and others, and she was always She keeps catalogs of exhibitions. She reached middle school and kept the catalogs as if they were holding treasure, as she told me. She received encouragement from the art education teacher in the middle school, who, as the artist mentioned, is credited with encouraging and helping her paint for the first time on canvases. After high school, she became busy with drawing. In 2011, I decided to return, but in an academic way, then I started in 2015, in the Jeddah mural, and in 2018, Ibtihal held artistic tourism trips, including a trip to Nubia in Egypt and a trip to Azerbaijan, and they also organized tours inside the Kingdom, such as painting in Jeddah and the horse stables, The artist (Ibtihal Bagnaid) held many workshops, the last of which was at the Culture and Arts Association, under the name (Ibtihal Al-Lun), attended by the artist (Abdullah Idris), the artist (Ahmed Hussein), the artist (Ahmed Zuhair), and a number of female and male artists. The group (Women Artists of the Nation) held Their first exhibition, entitled (Rawashin Jeddah), which met with unparalleled success not only at the level of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but at the level of the entire Arab world, and the exhibition (Najd, O My Land and My Sky), in Riyadh. The Arab 22 website had this interview with the artist (Ibtihal Bagnaid) to talk to us about Her artistic beginnings led her to the worlds of fine art with its diversity of color and form. Who is the visual artist Ibtihal Bagnaid? She is a simple person who works hard to express her hopes, pains, joys, and sorrows through drawing.
