Nicole Karam's interview on New TV opening night of her solo exhibition.

As a gallerist I could say I'm lucky to have an endless love for ART.

No one can limit art with a style, a path, or a line, art could be the footsteps of muddy shoes, dragged on a white surface, creating its own prints with an unleashed style. Nicole Karam

As an artist, try to be genuine. In being true to people through your art, you are true to yourself. Nicole Karam
