I am Petra Matar, a multi-disciplinary artist, and BONPETRA is my quintessential ego. My fascination with image creation began at the young age of one when I asked my mother to show me how to draw people. I continued to express this need for image creation for the rest of my life.
I am based in Hamilton, where I work as an intern-architect with dpai architecture. I am also part of the local art collective HAVN. Born in Nigeria to Lebanese parents, I grew up in Dubai where I received my Bachelor of Architecture at the American University of Sharjah in 2011. I moved to Hamilton in 2011, an unlikely trajectory to my life that worked out perfectly.
