Razan AlSarraf is an artist and educator based in Kuwait. Through painting, drawing, video and sound, she reflects on the interactions of people with land and landscape. She received an MFA in Art from California Institute of the Arts and a BFA in Fine Arts with honors from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Razan exhibits internationally, within solo and group shows in New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, France, the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait.
Razan was one of the residential artists in our Visionary Lab programme and is currently at residency at Hunna Art, with the upcoming exhibition in September. Razan is one of the founders of Studio Eleven that offers workshops, seminars and art consultancies.
In this episode we spoke to Razan about the essence of "artist's identity" and their role in the world. Razan shared her rich experiences creating art and carving her path as a Kuwaiti, Arab young artist in the States and beyond. Her deep interest in the surroundings and human interaction with landscape heavily influence her art as shown in the most recent exhibition she had at Sultan Gallery titled With the land.
