About the work

A faceless, crowned woman draped in a richly patterned patchwork robe stands against a soft, muted background adorned with delicate floral stencil motifs and gilded border detail. The figure radiates quiet dignity and cultural depth through layers of collaged fabric-like triangles in deep rose, mauve, and olive tones.

Dieb’s artistic practice often explores themes of identity, memory, and the complexities of Syrian society, utilizing expressive forms and vibrant color palettes. Her style is marked by a blend of figurative and abstract elements, reflecting both personal and collective narratives rooted in her cultural heritage.

Dieb has exhibited her work in several notable institutions and galleries across the Middle East and internationally.

Expressionism

Art that prioritizes emotion and inner experience over realistic depiction, using distortion, bold color, and energetic mark-making. In the region it gave modern artists a language for memory, displacement, and identity.
