Mona was born in Beheira Governorate (Egypt), and her childhood was simple, which crystallized with her going to the Faculty of Fine Arts in Zamalek in Cairo and living alone during that period, where she began to see herself and the surrounding world in a different, confrontational way.
After Mona finished her academic studies and after many experiences
and participation in youth art exhibitions, Mona tried to find Her own
path and style in the art of sculpture, and she tried to find her sculptural character in her sculpture. At the beginning of her work, Mona was interested in the material of the stone, and that was after she was influenced by the material of granite, its texture, hardness, and the strength of its surface. She followed the abstract style and used symbols to indicate the content and summarize them like animals, and then she moved after that to expressing herself and her dreams in an expressive way. Simplified symbolism, where the use of the human and animal elements moved together, with the introduction of some semantic symbols, such as birds and ladders. Her experience developed over time to see a difference in symbols, themes, and diversity in content in one exhibition after another.
Mona is interested in the presence of the female body in her works,
so the element of women has always been a symbol of strength,
transcendence, and the search for self, existence, and tomorrow.
