Influenced by her studies at Ecole Camondo and her years spent in Paris and Rotterdam, Najla El Zein returned to open her workspace in Beirut, a city that inspires her in a paradox of emotions, senses and memories which continuously trickle into her work process.
Najla seeks the challenge of taking a simple idea, object or material and converting it into a cosmic experience. Her creations are intimate experiments, reinterpreting conventional materials within atypical contexts.
Najla El Zein’s works have been featured in the Victoria and Albert Museum, Singapore Art Fair, Boghossian Foundation (Brussels), Design Days Dubai, House of Today, Beirut Art Center, PAD fairs with Smogallery and Starch Foundation.
