BIOGRAPHY
is a Lebanese-Bulgarian contemporary artist whose practice moves between sculpture, painting and mixed media.
Trained as an architect,
she approaches the human figure as both structure and memory.
Her work explores identity, resilience, displacement and the traces left by personal and collective experiences.
Drawing from Mediterranean landscapes, mythology, nature and textile traditions,
she combines bronze, clay, marble, wire and thread to create poetic forms where fragility and strength coexist.
Her recurring red thread becomes a visual language of connection, memory and survival.

STATEMENT
My work explores the body as an archive of memory. Through sculpture and mixed media, I transform wounds, displacement and fragments of personal and collective history into poetic forms. Thread, wire, roots and the human figure recur as symbols of connection, fragility and resilience. Influenced by Mediterranean landscapes, mythology and my Lebanese-Bulgarian heritage, I create works that hold tension between vulnerability and strength, silence and memory.
