Dana
was born in Beirut amid civil war and political instability. She lives and
works between Lebanon and Cyprus. Her passion for art began earlier in her
childhood and grew throughout the years. Even after completing her BA in
Business Administration at the American University of Beirut, she resumed her
art studies at the Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts, where she completed her
BA in Illustration and Comics.
Dana
works today at the intersection of conceptual art and storytelling. She
believes that art can be a powerful way to communicate and engage with
communities on global matters by making a strong impact, changing perceptions,
or calling for action. In October 2019, Dana was shortlisted among 15
international artists to help raise awareness of disasters and environmental
changes in our communities and societies. Her artwork If Not Now, When? was
featured in The Art of Resilience exhibition at the World Bank headquarters in
Washington DC. Ever since, her works have been exhibited in collective shows
across Europe, the Middle East, and the United States of America, including
Nabad Online Exhibition; Canvas London International Art Fair (UK); Borders
2020 Festival - Venice International Art Fair (Italy); Art Collections
exhibition at Rossocinabro Gallery (Italy); and Visionary art exhibition at
Biblioteca Angelica in Rome (Italy).
