Biography
A Palestinian artist, born in Syria in 1986. She graduated from Al-Azhar University in Gaza in 2008 with a degree in Business Administration, and has devoted herself to painting since 2019. She has participated in numerous artistic activities, workshops, and local and international exhibitions. Among her most significant projects is Relative Calm, a solo exhibition presented in Gaza in 2022. Through this body of work, she reflected on the reality surrounding her using oil paint, often focusing on a single living element within the composition, set against unified atmospheres and varied, vibrant colours. During the 2023 war, she was displaced to Cairo. She sees the continuation of artistic production as an act of defiance in the face of the suffering brought by war and displacement.
Trace of The Tide “I have always wished to hear the sound of ships and vessels arriving from all over the world to dock at Gaza’s port. I have never lost hope; the sea always surprises us with so much.”
