Description
Poussières d'étoiles (stardust) (1999-2007) is a part of a collection of works produced by the artist that repeatedly insinuate windows or doors. These seem to function as passageways into a realm beyond the material, to a landscape of the soul. There's an inherent spirituality in this series. The work appears almost metaphysical, with fluid, undulating forms that resemble cosmic soundwaves. The composition is a dynamic visual rhythm of a sea of blue hues, yet it leaves a calming effect on the viewer.
Rana Raouda (b. 1961) is a prominent Lebanese painter born in Beirut in 1961. She graduated in 1983 with a Fine Arts degree from the Lebanese American University and continued her studies at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington D.C. and The Monoprint Workshop in New Mexico. She has successfully showcased her work internationally at solo and group exhibitions. In 1997 she was awarded the young artist award for the XXI Salon d’Automne at the Sursock Museum. In 2007 she received the first prize in Ornans-France and in Montreux-Switzerland. Her work is displayed in public and private collections; St Elias Church Kantari - Beirut, An Nahar, and is part of the permanent collection of the Sursock Museum.
