Arab Spring by Helen Zughaib
Helen Zughaib was born in Beirut, Lebanon, living mostly in the Middle East and Europe before coming to the United States to study art. She earned her BFA from the College of Visual and Performing Art at Syracuse University. Her work has been widely exhibited in galleries and museums around the world and featured in many private and public collections, including the White House. Zughaib’s style combines a variety of historical art references and influences, including post-impressionism, pop art, Islamic art motifs, geometric patterns, and floral arabesque. Her work, which centers around themes of cultural identity, family life, displacement, and the plight of refugees - is also focused on creating empathy and cultivating a shared space for introspection and dialogue.
