ArtDayME: Lebanese artist Salwa Zeidan is showcasing her collection of sculptures and paintings at the Iyad Qanazea Gallery in Abu Dhabi (July 10 – Sept. 10).

The exhibition, titled ‘Minimalist Journey’, offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to immerse themselves in Zeidan’s profound abstract minimalist artistry.

Salwa Zeidan, a sculptor and painter originally from the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon, has made a significant impact in the art scene in Abu Dhabi, UAE, where she has been based for the past four decades. Her work spans various mediums, including mixed media paintings, conceptual art, stone sculptures, and monumental works with stainless steel and composite materials. For over 35 years, she has focused on unrestricted self-expression, profound truth, inner serenity, and enlightenment.

As a pioneer of abstract minimalist art, she integrates calligraphy into her creations, drawing inspiration from her 2004 ink drawings. The spiral motif, symbolizing human evolution and growth, is a central theme in her sculptures and paintings.

She is the founder of Salwa Zeidan Gallery in Abu Dhabi.
