Em el Banet

the Story

With her signature blend of humor and heartfelt observation, Micheline Nohra presents Ém el Banét—a vibrant portrait of motherhood in all its chaotic, unfiltered glory. The Arabic title translates to “Mother of the Girls” “أم البنات” and here she is, seated in black heels and pearls, holding a newborn while flanked by two young daughters who are just as expressive and dramatic in posture as their mom.

From mismatched outfits to tired expressions, this acrylic painting is a playful ode to the realities of raising daughters, messy, loud, colorful, and deeply human. Micheline captures the emotional weight and comic beauty of the everyday with bold strokes, whimsical distortions, and a joyful palette of pinks, reds, and yellows.

Ém el Banét is not just a painting—it’s a familiar scene for many, reimagined through the lens of satire, love, and cultural nuance.
