AIDA HALLOUM

Halloum is a painter based in Bekaa. 

After earning her diploma in Fine Arts from the Lebanese University in 1993, she started teaching the craft in the Bekaa and in Arsal in 1994. 

Halloum’s oeuvre consists of semi-abstract representation of the nature and environment that surround her. As if painting from a window, or framed to look like it, her vibrant oil paintings portray the landscape that is around her. Reminiscent of late impressionism and early modernism, her work focuses on light and color. In fact, as a student of the renowned Lebanese painter Fatima El Hajj, her work evokes the luminescence in her teacher’s work. 

The artist’s most recent body of work, moves her further into abstraction with collage works that bring out the strength of her color blocking technique further.
