Aysha E Arar explores Palestinian stories and myths across multiple mediums—painting, drawing, poetry, video, and performance—transforming traditional narratives into vivid, contemporary expressions. Facing the challenge of depicting ongoing conflict, she develops a poetic and dreamlike visual language that conveys deep emotion and layered meaning. Her work unfolds across diverse media and supports—including paper, canvas, and walls—where spontaneous, energetic lines and colors conjure a universe populated by imaginative creatures and hybrid forms.

At the core of Arar’s art lies an intimate exploration of identity and resistance. She employs the power of image and voice as acts of defiance against oppression, seeking to articulate freedom’s complex meanings.

Her work invites viewers into a vibrant space of resilience, transformation, and cultural memory. ...
Sans titre is a gallery based in Paris.
