Emna Zghal is a Brooklyn-based visual artist. She was trained in both Tunisia and the United States and has shown her work in both countries and beyond. Her images of vast imagined spaces echo the patterns of nature and their infinite variety. And while the colors of her paintings, drawings and prints are surreal, they impart the vibrancy of life.
Noted public collections include the Newark Museum, Flint Institute of Art, Yale University Library, The New York Public Library, The Africa Center, NY, and The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York.
She has received fellowships, prizes, grants, and residencies from The Creative Capital, The MacDowell Colony, Women’s Studio Workshop, American Academy of Arts and Letters, Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris) and others.
