“Everything is connected, and balance is key. I create to express the voice of nature and challenge the viewer's perception of reality.”
— Patricia Daher
Patricia Daher (b. 1988, United States) is a New York-based American-Lebanese multidisciplinary artist, poet, and environmental activist. Her work is autobiographical, exploring the intricate relationship between human civilization and the natural world. Through painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, and performance art, Daher channels the wisdom of nature and native cultures to inspire environmental awareness and promote harmony.
Capturing the zeitgeist of globalization and the digital age, Daher’s art integrates innovative materials, experimental techniques, and bold color palettes. Repetitive motifs, symbolic language, and abstract compositions form the foundation of her work, addressing urgent ecological concerns. Her artistic explorations expand the boundaries of Conceptual Art, New Surrealism, Visionary Art, and Symbolism.
Her interdisciplinary approach is informed by Mathematics, Science, Ancient History, Mythology, and Religion, weaving together themes of society, music, and the environment. This fusion creates a layered, multidimensional narrative that invites viewers to engage with art as a universal language—one that communicates complex ideas with simplicity and depth.
Raised between New York and Beirut, Daher’s artistic journey began with a transition from mathematics to fine art. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from Hunter College in 2015, specializing in Painting and Near Eastern Religions, with a minor in Art History. Following local exhibitions and collaborations with arts organizations, she shifted from teaching mathematics to pursuing a Master’s degree in Art Market Studies at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she received the Fellowship Award in Global Diversity.
Daher’s work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and featured in leading publications such as The Washington Post and Hyperallergic. Her accolades include the Wave Award, Catalyst Scholarship Award, and the IMPART Artist Grant Award, cementing her influence in the contemporary art world.
