Nadine Faraj

Nadine Faraj makes watercolour paintings with raunchiness, humor, tenderness and soul. She paints portraits and sexualized figures in varying degrees of abstraction often drawn from the worlds of pornography and erotica. Her fluid style allows her figures to emerge as deeply psychological and emotional beings, with a full sense of their humanity. Recently, her works have addressed issues of human rights, LGBTQI activism, feminisms and sex and body positivity.

Nadine Faraj lives and works in Montreal and holds an MFA from New York's School of Visual Arts (2015) and a BFA from Concordia University in Montreal (2002). Her work has been exhibited in prestigious venues across major cities such as New York, Montreal, Toronto, Mexico City, London, Athens, and Dubai. Faraj's distinctive style has garnered significant attention over the years and has been featured in prominent publications such as Hyperallergic, Wallpaper Magazine, A Women’s Thing Magazine (cover), Huffington Post, Arte Fuse, and Vulture. She is also represented by Anna Zorina Gallery, in New York.
