Artist's Bio
Zena Ghossoub, born on November 28, 1984, in Zalka, Beirut, is a multidisciplinary Lebanese artist, poet, and member of the Lebanese Syndicate of Artists. Living and working in Beirut, she expresses her vision through painting, sculpture, design, and installation art, with a style rooted in contemporary abstraction. Her work is marked by abstract figurative silhouettes and distorted facial forms, evoking a sense of pareidolia—where the mind intuitively fills in incomplete structures to reveal human likenesses. Guided by intuition, Zena reflects deeply from her inner emotional world, channeling it into visual expressions that explore themes of metamorphosis, communication theories, cosmology, science, and cyclical patterns. Her multidisciplinary practice bridges the poetic and the visual, offering a layered exploration of transformation and human perception.
Over time, her practice grew into a more physical and intuitive form of expression, marked by sketch-like lines, embedded textures, and recurring symbols and handwritten elements. These layers of gesture and writing form a dynamic surface that reflects her evolving emotional depth and narrative complexity. Today, her work invites viewers into a space where the personal and universal converge—visually compelling, emotionally resonant, and rich with interpretive possibility.
