A graduate of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus, Joumana Mortada has developed a contemporary abstract practice that uses color as a language to navigate emotion, resilience, and identity. Her work has been exhibited in Syria, Kuwait, Bahrain, the UAE, and New York.

As a visual artist and cultural practitioner with over six years of experience in the creative sector, her work spans across visual art, murals, art education, and cultural programming. Her practice bridges artistic creation and cultural production, enabling her to collaborate effectively with artists, institutions, and communities. Alongside her studio and public art practice, she has experience supporting exhibitions and artistic initiatives, contributing to exhibition coordination, artist communication, and public programming.

For Joumana, art functions as a means of survival, a way to document, resist, and find solace amid turmoil. Reflecting the shifting emotional landscapes shaped by endurance, her work transforms fleeting moments into expressions of persistence and longing. Through abstraction, she conveys both the weight of hardship and the quiet force of resilience. The layered surfaces of her work invite viewers to look beyond destruction, to recognize beauty in endurance, and locate fragments of themselves within her evolving visual language.
