Salma Chaabane

I’m a Tunisian–French multidisciplinary artist based in Île-de-France, France, working mainly in painting and sculpture. My work focuses on the human body and the portrait, mixing abstraction and figuration to explore identity, memory and the emotional traces of lived experience. Drawing on my Tunisian roots and diverse cultural influences, I use bold colours and expressive forms to create vibrant, intimate pieces that invite viewers to connect with their own inner world.
