Meet Suzi Fadel Nassif, the Lebanon-born contemporary artist currently dominating the art scene across the globe…

Have you ever wondered what it was like to get a glimpse into the creative mind of a naturally gifted artist? Fortunately, I had the chance to do that as soon as I stepped inside Suzi Fadel Nassif’s home in Dubai. Vivid colours, textured walls and a melting candle wax sculpture sitting atop of her living room table were as inviting as her adorable dog wagging its tail at the entrance of her Jumeirah-based home.

Every corner a canvas to unleash her creative potential, Suzi’s home was just a glimpse of her mind — a beautiful mess of colour, inspiration and emotions, and then translated into her artworks.

Blown away with her breathtaking canvas paintings, abstract art and an interesting take on surrealism; she’s developed a keen eye for minute details that have been inspired by different walks of life, cultural diversity and mystery.
