Sarah Younes |
As a lot of Lebanese artists, Sarah relocated to Europe in order to pursue her dreams, but she still keeps Lebanon in her heart and in her work.
Her art is raw and stems from a mix of inspirations. Starting as a Graphic Design and Multimedia student at Notre Dame University in Lebanon, she moved on to study at the Rome University of Fine Arts in Rome, Italy. There, she has made a name for herself among the local and expat art community by exhibiting her work and taking on several interesting projects.
As I am also currently living in Rome, I am happy to say I got to see one of her exhibitions, and I could not be prouder, for she is spreading the face of Lebanese talent and art abroad, instead of the face of corruption and violence which Lebanon is mostly known for overseas.
Sarah has been a good friend of mine ever since our teenage years, and I am very proud to be sharing her work and a little bit about her background.
