Nagham Hodaifa

Syrian artist Nagham Hodaifa obtained a degree in Painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Damascus and also earned her PhD in contemporary art history from Sorbonne University, Paris. Her work centres around both drawing and painting, utilising bold colours and shapes to loosely depict the human figure. Her representations of the human figure are most often executed without the head and face of a person, focusing heavily on the motions of the body rather than human expression.
