This painting treats the aftermath on an emotional level, the deep feelings that overwhelm us as we shift from what was to what will be.
The painting is divided into two parts. The lower part is about anxiety, sadness, loss, and trauma, which is represented by using dark colors and modeling paste to create texture to express turmoil and the feeling of confusion. The upper part is about hope, happiness, peace, love, and beauty, and it is represented by using light colors and a smoother surface to express serenity and faith.
As a positive person, I need to convey the message through the use of colors and texture that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. This painting is a bold statement of survival, strength, and resilience in the face of hardship.
About Nadine Tabri
Nadine Gaby Tabri is a Lebanese artist and architect, born with a passion for creativity and expression. She graduated from the Lebanese American University (LAU) in 1997 with a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture. While studying architecture, she nurtured a deep love for drawing, sketching, and painting, though she had not yet fully explored her artistic potential.
In 2017, she decided to take her artistic journey more seriously, dedicating herself to painting once again. The global COVID-19 pandemic gave her the time and space to engage more deeply with her art, transforming what began as a hobby into a vital and expressive practice. Since then, Nadine has participated in numerous symposiums and collective exhibitions across Lebanon and abroad. Her works have been exhibited at prestigious venues such as UNESCO Palace, Beirut National Library, Baakleen National Library, Beit Beirut, Sami Makarem Cultural Center, Russian Cultural Center, The Grand Sofar Hotel, Multaqa Beirut El Safir, Opera House Cairo, Forum de Beirut, and the American University of Technology (AUT).
In May 2025, she held her first solo exhibition, Meshwar (مشوار), at Multaqa Beirut El Safir. This exhibition presented a retrospective of five years of her work, arranged to take visitors on a symbolic “walk” through her artistic journey—a vivid exploration of her world of colors and dreams.
Nadine is also a dedicated piano teacher, reflecting her multi-faceted artistic nature. As both painter and musician, she embraces creativity as a lifelong path. Her art, characterized by vibrant colors and emotional depth, reflects her ongoing journey of self-discovery and her commitment to sharing beauty and imagination with others.
