Painter
Dina Targam
Born 1990; Contemporary Egyptian Artist Dina Targam was born in Egypt, and currently works and lives in Cairo. She Holds a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering and a Bachelor of Visual Art from the American University in Cairo in 2012. From a young age she wasn’t the one who spilled out her heart but it was only the canvas that allowed her to truly vent her emotions freely without having to describe or justify them before.
Targam’s paintings typically do not follow a set plan or logical process. She actively relies on her emotions and subconscious mind to direct her. She attempts to silence the mind and let her soul guide the shades of color and choice of brush strokes.
Although at times the process seems random and arbitrary, but as soon as she starts it just flows smoothly as if it was planned all the way. Her abstract style is intuitive, personal and exposed, leaving you reminiscing within each piece.
Since 2016, Targam has been active in the art scene, presenting over 5 solo shows and participating in over 10 collective exhibitions in Cairo, Florence, Leipzig, and Madrid.
