MEET THE ARTIST
MARIAN BASTA
Basta is an Egyptian/Irish visual artist based in Dublin/Cairo with BFA.
Growing up in Egypt, the ancient Egyptian art alongside the Coptic iconography art in churches left a great impact on her art style, so the eyes are very wide expressive gazes and the blocky body structures with vibrant colors.
She was influenced by great Pillars of Art like Picasso but was able to develop a signature style of her own where cubism is mixed with cultural details.
The vibrancy and high saturation of the colours and contrast of the pallet in addition to thick paint knives textures dominated her art style.
Her professional journey began as a commercial graphic designer for 7 years in Egypt, before relocating to Ireland in 2018.
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic sparked a renewed focus on her passion for art, leading her to pursue oil painting. By the end of 2020, she had developed a distinctive and signature style inspired by Cubism and achieved by Oil and Acrylic mediums.
​
She’s exhibited in many Group and Solo exhibitions all around Ireland in addition to many international Art Fairs and have been covered by press and local radio. (Click on Exhibition tap for more info about exhibitions).
