Lebanese artist Salwa Zeidan is renowned for her mastery in both sculpture and painting. Her artistic practice spans a wide array of mediums, including mixed media paintings, conceptual art, stone sculptures, and monumental works crafted from stainless steel and composite materials. The artist is celebrated for her abstract minimalist art and her unique integration of calligraphy, a tradition she has refined over the past 35 years. Her works often feature spiraling motifs, inspired by her ink drawings from 2004, symbolizing humanity's continuous evolution and growth.

Salwa's remarkable creations have garnered international acclaim, with her paintings and sculptures featured in prestigious galleries and private collections across the United States, Switzerland, Italy, and France. Her art has also been showcased at prominent art fairs and biennales around the globe, including in London, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, Egypt, and Lebanon.

Throughout her illustrious career, Salwa has received numerous awards from esteemed institutions, including recognition from the Florence Biennale. These accolades highlight her exceptional talent and unwavering commitment to her art.
