Additional info:
Samia Osseiran (b. 1944, Lebanese) studied fine arts at the Beirut College for Women (1965) and received her MFA two years later from the Pius XII Institute in Florence, Italy. She returned to Lebanon, where she taught at her alma mater from 1971 to 1973. She received a scholarship from the Japanese Embassy in Lebanon and enrolled at the University of Fine Arts in Tokyo in 1974 as a graphic art student. Osseiran’s respective education had a distinct and lasting presence on her work. Osseiran was a product of her milieu, surrounded by iconic abstract painters. She would take part in long studio sessions with the likes of the renowned Helen Khal (1923-2009), though she herself only gained recognition years later. Osseiran founded Society Artaizhana in South Lebanon in 1977 in a bid to encourage women's artistic practice. Today, Samia Osseiran lives and works in her home in Bramiyeh, Saida.
