Faddia Attieh

Painter

I am Fadia Attieh, a self-taught artist born in Dakar.

For twenty years, painting has become much more than a practice for me: it is a breath of fresh air, a refuge, a space where emotion is transformed into color.

Each canvas is a moment captured, an emotion that settles—joy, fragility, loneliness, strength... I paint what comes to me. My works are born from the energy of the moment, without filter, with sincerity.

My journey has led me to exhibit in Europe, the United States, Morocco, Ivory Coast, and here in Dakar, where it all began and where my inspiration remains strongest.

Painting is now my fulfillment, my balance, and I hope that this portfolio will allow you to feel a fragment of what drives me when I create..
