BIOGRAPHY

Ziad Jreige

Collage with medical gauze

Inspired by German artist kurt schwitters, Maribelle Saad puts together a series of collages that combines abstractionism with expressionism. She chooses grayscale to emphasize the contrast between pain and hope. Darker painful patches are in direct collision with much brighter hopeful ones. The medium being gauze and paper, sheds light on the medical backstory of the work.

Mono and dichromatic drawings

In this series Maribelle is putting words into anatomical lines as universal language. Expressing the inborn and the unchangeable reality, in a contemporary approach, she draws the light and the heavy, as if directing the observer eye straight into one or many focal points. Elegant black and beating red radiate the occult and the vital value of the series. She boundlessly lets go of the pen on paper in an expression free of any chains.
