Betty Yaghi  

Betty Yaghi is a Lebanese contemporary artist born in 1984. Having lived in several countries, B. Yaghi soaked up the rich cultures of Beirut, London, Miami and Dubai, and was immersed with the various art worlds the cities had to offer. From the start of her career, the artist emerged with works that can appeal to an international audience and became known for creating large canvases showcasing an ability to conquer the wall in a cohesive and structured manner.

B.Yaghi’s style embodies the spirit of “action painting” and is personalized with the addition of her signature details. The result is a recognizable style made of balanced strokes, precise splashes and detailed romantic elements. The works give off an allure of spontaneity, but are anchored down with intent and a strong form. B. Yaghi’s paintings carry both a lightness and a darkness, invoke feelings of harmony, but also interruption, and depict structure within chaos.

B.Yaghi’s work is strongly influenced by the 20th century movement of art coming from within oneself rather than revolving around a subject matter, which was led by masters such as Jackson Pollock for Abstract Expressionism. Utilizing the art movement characterized by free-associative gestures, B. Yaghi launched her work and coined the term “mind-scapes”,  a depiction of mental landscapes portrayed as aesthetic blueprints of ones intricate thoughts and emotional process.

With multiple solo exhibitions, and taking part in the world’s largest and most prominent art exhibitions, like Art Basel Switzerland, Paris Contemporary, Art Miami, Zona-Maco Mexico, the Palm Beach Modern+Contemporary and Art Dubai, B.Yaghi’s work penetrated the international art scene and gained recognition as “purposeful” and “hard to get out of”.

“I hope to always create pieces that invite the viewer in. To enchant a person with a painting is a moment where magic overpowers logic. That is the moment I create for.” B.Yaghi
