Bio
Tania Bakalian Safieddine, known as Tanbak, was born in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1954. In 1958 she left to study Spanish literature in Madrid and then International Relations at Georgetown University in Washington. A self-taught artist, Tanbak, relies more on imagination and recollection rather than observation to create. She produces paintings, sculptures, and installations using natural colors and natural materials to depict historical themes, including the Lebanese civil war. The artist still lives and works in Beirut.
