"I am from Lebanon and after the explosion in Beirut in 2020, I became aware of how people there became glued to their television sets because this was the only way to receive information.  People are still locked down in their houses because of the pandemic." - Balsam Abo Zour
     
Born in Tannoura, Lebanon in 1982, Balsam Abo Zour grew up in Abey.  She trained under artists Mohammed Al Rawas and Fatima El Hajj while she completed her BFA at the Lebanese University of Fine Art.
 
"The act begins with an image charged with intense feeling.   A memory of it pulls on me.  Before the painting calls itself into being, textures first take shape with charcoal and pastel pencils.  My body greets the canvas with urgency." - Balsam Abo Zour
