SORAYA GHARBI

plastic artist from Senegal

From a very young, Soraya Gharib loves drawing and colors, a talent noticed by her drawing teacher at Lycée Van Vollenhoven in Dakar where she was born. Of Lebanese origin, Soraya grew up in Senegal and currently lives in France.

An architectural drawing assistant was her job in Dakar until 2001, when she moved to Paris and became passionate about Arabic calligraphy, which she practices in the Beaux-Arts workshops of the city of Paris.

It was not until 2012 that she began to practice painting as a hobby, but very quickly her thirst for painting made her discover a great passion buried in her from an early age.

As an autodidact, she is not inspired by any painter and takes the freedom to “taste” a bit of everything and lets herself be carried away by what she feels when creating.
