Ola Hijazi is a Saudi educator and plastic artist, who lives in Jeddah. Her works fall within the Arabic alphabet and the use of printed ink, and she is also afraid of giving her works distinct titles because, in her opinion, titles lead to restricting the scope of imagination. Her work uses bold colours, especially red and blue.
She studied literature and rhetoric at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, and participated in a number of exhibitions in Saudi Arabia.
