The Figure and its interaction with the space around it is the focus of Ms. Hilmi's interest. Color plays a major role in reinforcing the mood evoked by the relationship of form and line. Soft, muted tones put side by side with dynamic colored rhythms make opposites flow and connect, creating a harmonious, integrated world.

"Through the years, I have come to realize that my work reflects the many places I had lived in and what these places mean to me. I paint my world, a world tamed by me to embrace my visual memories, past experiences and aspirations. I paint people’s motion in time and space, their constant emotional migration and their search for close, secure relationships within loose boundaries and their own free space." Nabila Hilmi
Plastically, the line unites and separates, shaping the interacting forms and activating the negative space. Color is instrumental in connecting the forms, in building the mood and the feeling of life flowing, ever changing, ever the same.

"Nabila Hilmi est née à Jérusalem, elle a grandi en Égypte, au Liban et en Jordanie. Dans son œuvre, Nabila Hilmi cherche à tisser des liens entre l’Est et l’Ouest, entre les deux mondes différents où elle a vécu et qu’elle connaît intimement. Le temps, l'espace et la lumière constituent les trois éléments fondamentaux de sa propre existence. Le temps et l'espace représentent l’essence même de la vie individuelle et sociale, aussi bien que la communication, l'intégration et l'évolution d’un être et de son entourage; tandis que la lumière représente l'espoir et la foi dans l’humain."Extraits du site:
