Description
Aida Halloum is a Lebanese artist born in Kuwait in 1967. Mentored by the esteemed Fatima El Hajj, she graduated with a Fine Arts diploma from the Lebanese University in 1993. Halloum’s oeuvre centres on landscapes and domestic scenes, skillfully blending figuration and abstraction. Her recent recognition in Gallery Magazine drew parallels between her work and that of predecessors Etel Adnan and Saliba Douaihy. Unlike their minimalist landscapes, Halloum reintroduces figuration with abstract overlays, forming captivating panoramas.
With a notable career as an art educator, Halloum's influence extends beyond her canvas. Her recent exhibition at the LAU School of Arts and Sciences in January 2023 showcased her interpretation of rural and urban landscapes, merging together the realm of imagination with reality. She has taken part in a number of group and solo exhibitions in Lebanon.
With soft shades of blues and greens, delicate textures and speckles of light, Halloum’s Man in the Garden (2013) channels an ethereal adoration of nature and beauty. The artist’s airy yet complex figuration is undeniably her hallmark. The painting emanates a surreal yet recognizable atmosphere.
