| Biography |
Based in Beirut, Zeina-Bacardi Sakr is a ceramic artist, designer and maker at heart.
In 2015, she graduated from the American University of Beirut and received the M&C Saatchi MENA award for highest academic achievement in Fine Arts and Art History. Bacardi mainly works with porcelain and stoneware, pushing the boundaries of the medium and experimentation is at the core of her practice. Through her work, Bacardi attempts to revive the art of tableware which has become mundane and mass produced. Each object’s aesthetic form and design meet its functionality, which is essential. Yet, what fuels her passion is the relation that imposes itself between the potter and the lump of clay being formed. Bacardi feels a motherly sense of attachment towards each and every piece she creates.
"I like to see a little piece of myself in each object I create, reflecting the intrinsic union between what I am and what I conceive."
