Description
Dalia Baassiri is a Lebanese visual artist whose practice examines the emotional and material residues of domestic and urban environments shaped by instability. She studied Graphic Design at the Lebanese American University before completing a Master’s degree at Central Saint Martins in London, where she refined a conceptual approach rooted in the sensory and symbolic potential of materials. Her work spans painting, installation, and mixed media, bringing together tactile craftsmanship and a critical reflection on memory, displacement, and the everyday.
Recurrent motifs such as dust, walls, and architectural fragments are reconfigured into poetic structures that articulate fragility, endurance, and transformation. Baassiri’s work has been exhibited at the Beirut Art Center, Galerie Tanit, and several international platforms, where it has been recognised for its quiet tension between permanence and transience. Through her visual language, she explores how traces of destruction and reconstruction become narratives of lived experience and collective memory.
Lebanese by nationality, she lives and works between Beirut and Europe, contributing to contemporary discussions on post-war materiality and the aesthetics of rebuilding in Middle Eastern art.
Exhibitions
