Bissan Rafe (Arabic: بيسان رافع) is a Palestinian American visual artist from Houston, Texas. Her work, as she says, is inspired by the Palestinian self-determination movement.
Artwork[edit]
Known for her oil paintings,[1] Rafe's creative work ranges from illustrations[2] and literature to music.[3] She has exhibited in various galleries and biennials throughout the world, namely the United States,[4] Italy,[5] Portugal,[4] Japan,[3][6], and elsewhere.
One of her projects, known as "Fairy Tales," featured six books with illustrations based on both Eastern and Western Asian folklore and covered themes of imagination, with each book covering a different story.[1][4] An underlying theme of her work usually revolves around multiple phases dealing with the recurring of production, destruction, and reestablishment as a homage to the Palestinian diaspora.[7][4] At various times, her work has been described as overtly political in nature.[8][4]
Studio[edit]
In 2007, she started her own art studio known as Nohra-Studio.[1]
