About her works, the Egyptian critic and poet Al-Sayyed Al-Jazaerli wrote: The human face in Hanan Bahamdan’s recent works is not a silent face, and is not an extension of the stage of painting silent nature in its superficial sense. The faces are not cheerful so that we can say that they are biased toward visual pleasure, but rather they are faces covered with human pain. The intense expressions And the broken features that we see in the faces of its characters, and in their discontented, explosive eyes, indicate that there is a tragedy or a story behind every face, and that there is a lot of silent talk that is revealed only by reading the features and their details, and therefore the silent nature of the artist Hanan Bahamdan has become A plastic approach that places her experience in another context, transforming the silent natural symbol into a human memory filled with moving facts.
