Nissa Raad

Nissa Raad (Fakhrelnissa Raad) is a Jordanian artist who was born in Amman in 1981. She graduated from Brown University in 2002 with a BA in history before receiving an MSc in urban development and design from UCL, London, in 2004.

Greatly inspired by her late grandmother, the celebrated Turkish artist Fahrelnissa Zeid- rich textures, vibrant colors and bold lines are ubiquitous in Nissa's whimsical work which is inspired by both urban and natural environments.

She has had several sold out exhibitions in Amman and Istanbul, and has participated in numerous group exhibitions and fairs both locally and internationally.
