Description

Afaf Zurayk’s work presents realms of whispered chromatic dialogues. The mixed media polyptych employs a muted yet striking palette. Zurayk’s delicate forms are set against a canvas of serene off-white. Her work acts as a vessel of introspection, each piece often accompanied by lines of prose or poetry. It is a testament to her unique approach to creation, one that is deeply rooted in the internal landscapes of emotion and thought.

Beirut-based Afaf Zurayk (b. 1948, Lebanese) is a visual artist and writer.  Inspired and guided by both music and poetry, her artistic practice probes emotional experiences. She contemplates the human face and figure, playing motion against stillness, line against colour, and active brushwork against solid spaces. 

She graduated from the American University of Beirut in 1970 with a BA in Fine Arts with distinction, and obtained an MA in Fine Arts from Harvard University in 1972. She has lectured at Beirut University College (now Lebanese American University), the American University of Beirut, the Corcoran College of Art and Design, and Georgetown University. 

Zurayk's work can be found in the permanent collections of the Sursock Museum in Beirut and Darat al-Funun in Amman, Jordan, as well as in many private collections. She has shown in several solo and group exhibitions in Beirut and Washington DC. She has also published several books including: My father. Reflections (2010), Lovesong (2011), and Drawn Poems (2012).
