Nour HudA
Born in Beirut in 1995, Nour Huda is a Lebanese narrative symbolic painter currently based in the UK.
Huda’s painterly work explores narrative-driven themes through a lens of poetic surrealism and symbolism, reflecting the emotional landscape of the human experience. Through layered textures, moody palettes, and evocative imagery, her paintings invite reflection on memory, transformation, and the quiet tension between reality and imagination.
“My work explores the emotional and symbolic space between reality and imagination. Using mainly oil and mixed media, I create emotive, narrative-driven paintings that highlight aspects of the human experience.
Drawing inspiration from music, literature, and my cultural heritage, my paintings seek a continuous dialogue between internal reflection and external influence, translating personal experiences and universal emotions into art form. Each work is intended to evoke feeling, provoke thought, and linger in the viewer’s memory.
My recent work has been focused on personal themes from my life and upbringing in my country, Lebanon. These personal narratives connect with broader reflections on identity, memory, conflict, and belonging.”
Nour's art has won various awards on both nationally and internationally. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, namely in the UK, Lebanon, and Qata. Nour also appeared on season 10 of Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year in 2023 where her painting was the guest sitter’s choice.
