Magda Malkoun

Magda is a self-taught, multifaceted artist who combines her interest in photography and sculpture in her artworks. Born in Beirut in 1982 and currently living in Dubai. She uses different types of material and texture not only as tools to paint with, but also to create forms. Early on, her focus was to reflect on canvas the psychology behind the individual, depicting thoroughly their emotions, capturing their happiness and grief. She draws inspiration from the conflicts and the bonds of being an expat in displacement. Magda’s body of work encompasses a series of figurative and abstract art retracing the places, events and the faces she came across in her long journey away from motherland, Lebanon.
