Nadia Saïkali

A personality who broke conventional ways of representation to form her own sophisticated language, Beirut artist Nadia Saïkali is profiled in this illustrated monograph. Her eclectic career is discussed and her paintings are captured in detail, demonstrating how each one is perceived by the artist herself as a fragment, a bank, or an island of her motionless journey in the archipelago of time. Showcasing a creative mind whose work has been presented in Paris, London, Frankfurt, and Kuwait City, this study illustrates how her oeuvre composes a mixture of Western elements and Eastern recollections. This edition is written in both English and French.
