Artist Statement:
In my work I always emphasize
on the color as a significant
and unifying element. It
follows mainly two directions:
In the first, I move into
unfettered areas of fervent
intensity, characterized by
its expressionistic vigor
through the application of
thick coats of paints of
various material (gouache,
fingerpaint, acrylic, ...

"Maha Abu Ghoush is a serious artist who does not accept the easy way. Since I knew her at the Training Center of Fine Arts, I sensed her talent and creative capacity. Her firm steps and her insistence on providing works of art that are of solid and creative quality is something to be admired....Maha puts us in a constant state of revelation, admiration and contemplation.".

Issue: 6 March 1992
**News coverage about a Group Exhibition held at the Cervantes Institute, Amman - Jordan with fellow artists, Amal Taha and Fatima Al Helo.
"Maha Abu Ghoush...depended on bright and joyous colors. There are some abstract compositions that include an extensive mixture of colors and elements within the same painting, and yet, this artist is able to blend them all in one harmony, even in those paintings where she used the collage technique".
- Ad-Dustour Jordanian Daily Newspaper
December 1991
**Article by Iraqi Artist Sadiq Kuwaish on the Collective Exhibition by the students of the Training Center of Fine Arts, at the Royal Cultural Center, Amman, Jordan in 1991.
"Impressions on the Training Center of Fine Arts Exhibition"
"On the works of the student Maha Abu Ghoush (Drawings): The drawings of this student held me long. She is indeed a very creative student. In her works you find a poignant melody that unites with the colors and lines, and within which her emotions are revealed pure with a mixture of childish naivity, joy and melancholy on every part of the drawing... she reminds us of the early works of Matisse and the intensity of Gauguin's colors, and the melancholy of Modigliani figures. The pastel drawings of this student is one unity in this exhibition, that does not allow you an escape... This student attempts with a spontaneous and natural feeling to place the biggest momentum of her sentiments on the surface of her drawings by drawing with brilliant, barely mixed colors and with strong bold lines, thus creating paradoxic and sharp relationships, that result in an expressionistic intensity. Does this student know that with this she has placed her foot in the heart of color enchantment and that she draws with an ultimate criterion in mind, that of the painting itself?".
