About the Item

LEILA NSEIR (Syria, 1941-2022) Born in Lattakia, Syria in 1941, Leila Nseir graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cairo in 1963. Beginning her career during the height of Syrian modernism, she developed a focus in her painting that is akin to the work of the late Louay Kayyali, whose subject matter explored issues of life and death and the experiences of the working class. Finding artistic inspiration in the region’s ancient civilizations, she often explored mythology as allegories for reality, delving into realism, expressionism then surrealism (and later utilized abstraction), all while experimenting with various mediums and techniques. Today her paintings have traces of these different periods of her oeuvre, indicating the path of a seasoned artist who has dared to frequently embark on new artistic journeys. Having had an extensive exhibition history, she has participated in countless artistic events throughout the world. A leading painter of her generation, she was honored by the Ministry of Culture for her contributions to local art in both 1968 and 1999. Nseir’s work can be found in the National Museum of Damascus and numerous private collections throughout the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America. She has spent most of her life in her native Syria.

Mental Staircase
Located in PARIS, FR
Giselle Borrás is a Colombian born artist who has lived and worked in Colombia, Spain and the United States of America. She has had several group and solo shows, and her work can be found in private collections across the United States and Colombia. She studied painting, drawing and color theory with several artists in Colombia and then continued her development in Madrid, Spain at The Fuencarral Studio. For the past twelve years she has been committed to her artistic work drawing inspiration from her continuous admiration for the human body. The end results of her work are these subtle and weightless figures, created from maintaining the painting process spontaneous, filled with innocence and yet providing the viewer much force, energy and presence. Her colors remain consistent, always vibrant and bold, and the painting is finished when the idea has become a complete discussion. Art is a language spoken with fluency by this up and coming artist...
