Nadia Ayari is a Tunisian-American painter based in New York, known for her distinctive work that balances abstraction and narration, exploring themes of cultural heritage and identity. 

Ayari moved to the United States in 2000, earning a Bachelor degree in Art History from Boston University, an Masters degree of Fine Arts in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design, and a Certificate of Fine Arts from Brandeis University. Nadia's artistic practice, which she describes as an awakening of self-awareness, often features recurring motifs such as eyeballs and figs. Her notable works contrast the raw stone with delicately painted branches and leaves, highlighting a significant visual and tactile interplay. Through her art, she navigates the intersection of the personal and political, addressing the impact of socio-political conflicts on the individual. 

Ayari has participated in numerous international shows and biennales, including the U.S. pavilion at the 12th Cairo International Biennale and the 3rd Thessaloniki Biennale.
