Dana was born in Beirut amid civil war and political instability. She lives and works between Cyprus and Lebanon. Her passion for art began earlier in her childhood and grew throughout the years. Even after completing her BA in Business Administration at the American University of Beirut, she resumed her art studies at the Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts, where she completed her BA in Illustration and Comics.
Dana works today at the intersection of conceptual art and storytelling. She believes that art can be a powerful way to communicate and engage with communities on global matters by making a strong impact, changing perceptions, or calling for action. In October 2019, Dana was shortlisted among 15 international artists to help raise awareness on disasters and environmental changes in our communities and societies. Her artwork If Not Now, When? was featured in The Art of Resilience exhibition at the World Bank headquarter in Washington DC.
The challenges arising from the pandemic didn’t stop her from being part of a big crowd of international artists who exhibited artworks in collective shows across Europe, the Middle East, and the United States of America.
