Raghda Skeik - The Calli Art Studio
Visual Artist & Calligrapher
With a background in nursing and a passion for creativity, Raghda Skeik is an award-winning visual artist and calligrapher whose work blends a deep appreciation for life, nature, and the world's diverse cultures. Born and raised across three continents, Raghda draws inspiration from every place, moment, and experience encountered along the way.
In 2013, after a significant back injury sidelined her career in healthcare, Raghda made the life-altering decision to dedicate her energy to art. This transition has since led to successful exhibitions in the Twin Cities, Wisconsin, and Chicago, with her work resonating with audiences since 2018.
Raghda's artistic practice often begins with a message, allowing the intention to guide the choice of subject matter. This approach allows her to infuse each piece with meaning and depth. While realism is the primary style, Raghda is not confined to one method; her work frequently evolves, experimenting with new materials and techniques while maintaining the integrity of her foundational vision.
Oil painting is the primary medium through which Raghda explores the world, often bringing to life the intricate beauty of nature and the interconnectedness of living things. This love for the natural world, paired with an insatiable curiosity for travel, results in art that captures life's external beauty and inner complexity.
Whether creating contemplative landscapes, portraits, or abstract pieces, Raghda's work invites viewers to engage with the world in fresh and thought-provoking ways.
