Staring On A Cloud

About

Nayla Saroufim creates installations that challenge the traditional notion of the passive viewer. Nayla’s art is a rich mix of media. She was always captivated by the dialogue between painting, illustration, and graphics. Her work embodies her attraction to colors and interest in all forms of expression, especially installations. Her technique is unique and personalized: a fusion of mixed media and installations in layers of steel, copper, wood, and other elements. Nayla strives to make her positivity and love of happiness appear in her art, sparking emotion and thoughts in viewers. She hopes that by looking at her art, people will realize that there is beauty and happiness in the simplest things.

This sculpture measures 25-inches high and 13-inches wide. It is designed to be hung from the ceiling on a metal cable, so it can be viewed from any vantage point. The length of the cable from the ceiling can be adjusted.

Nayla Kai Saroufim was born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1982. She graduated from ALBA (Académie Lebanese des Beaux-Arts) with a degree in Illustration and Art Direction. While working in the publicity field at several multinational advertising agencies, Nayla began rekindling her interest in art. This interest was not something new. Ever since she was a child, she knew what she wanted: to be an artist. Creative, a dreamer, and a lover of color and beauty, Nayla’s personality is clearly portrayed in her art. It’s been a decade since Nayla has been engaging in a creative expression of her personality.

Nayla Kai Saroufim’s work has graced the walls of solo exhibitions including a show in London in December 2015 and one in Beirut in October 2013. Her work has been exhibited at the Beirut Art Fair, in Singapore, and at Asia Contemporary Art.
