Gaia Maria Noujeim b. 1992, is a Lebanese artist based in Beirut. Gaia acquired her Master’s degree in 2020 and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from 2018, both from the Lebanese University Faculty of Fine Arts and Architecture II.

Her artworks evolve around human conditioning through social, political, and emotional influence. She believes art is a way to question or challenge accustomed behavior, whether personal or social, to elevate reality to a better future. Moreover, art is an effective method of transmitting information so that a civil change may occur through a wave or movement of art.

She is a co-founder of Minalshaab, a multidisciplinary artistic group that aims to promote cultural awareness, civic education in good citizenship, and the idea that art can replace violence as a way of expression for the people, allowing them to ask the right questions that can help in solving the crisis in our country. She has participated in a group of collective exhibitions.
