You are all invited to the opening reception of my solo exhibition “INSIGHTS” at Notre Dame University, Louaize.

Opening reception on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, from 6 to 9 pm.

"The Living", "People’s Boundaries", "The Writings", "Monuments", or simply "The Esthetics" are sources of inspiration reflected in 30 sculptures proudly showcased at the Faculty of Architecture, Arts, and Design.
The exhibition is curated by Dr.Tony Karam

‘’ I aim to capture the essence of both external inspiration and my intuitive process in my artworks. They reflect the influences that inspire me and my profound inner understanding. These 'INSIGHTS' stem from various sources, i ncluding 'The Living’, 'People’s Boundaries’, 'The Writings’, ‘Monuments' or simply 'The Esthetics’. My desire is to offer viewers a window into my creative journey, inviting them to explore the deep significance of my sculptures. ‘’

Lina Maalouf Husseini (Lebanese French) is a self-taught artist.

With a degree in Publ ic Administration from the American University of Beirut, her artistic journey has led her in a different direction.

Having lived in both Lebanon and France, her work reflects a blend of influences from the East and West. This fusion manifests as a form of transcendence in her art, bridging diverse cultures and sensibilities.

In her experimentation with materials, colors, and compositions, she takes ordinary elements and situates them in unfamiliar contexts. Her approach questions how people usually see everyday things. Her artworks feel positive, suggesting a sense of freedom from society's rules.

Lina Maalouf Husseini's pioneering innovation lies in the use of PVC as her primary medium. A collaborative duo emerged with her husband Roland Husseini, an engineer and specialist in PVC material. Their partnership combines creativity and technical expertise to produce unique and unconventional artworks. Working at high temperatures, they skillfully manipulate the materials. The meticulous handcrafted work of the Husseini Duo retains an element of spontaneity.. She exhibited in Beirut, Dubai, New York, Miami, Abidjan, Marseille, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. She also participated in auctions dedicated to humanitarian causes.

Her PVC sculpture « Together » is part of the permanent collection of the Peoria Riverfront Museum, in Peoria, Illinois.
