Juliana Seraphim occupies a singular position in modern Lebanese art, distinguished by a deeply personal and poetic surrealism that sets her apart from her contemporaries. Born in Jaffa in 1934 and displaced with her family to Lebanon in 1948, her early experience of exile would profoundly shape her inner world. Largely self-taught, she developed an instinctive and highly individual visual language, later refined through travels and exhibitions in Europe and the United States. Seraphim’s work is characterized by its dreamlike imagery, where feminine figures emerge from fluid, metamorphic environments charged with symbolism, sensuality, eroticism and psychological depth. Throughout her career, Seraphim explored themes of identity, femininity, and transformation, creating compositions that oscillate between the intimate and the fantastical. Her paintings are populated by hybrid forms, part human, part floral or organic, suggesting a continuous state of becoming. In this, her work resonates with Surrealist traditions while remaining distinctly her own, rooted in emotion rather than doctrine.

Serwan Baran (b. 1968) is a prominent contemporary Iraqi-Kurdish painter and sculptor known for his powerful, expressionist works that explore the psychological trauma of war. He represented Iraq with a solo exhibition at the 58th International Venice Biennale in 2019.

His art is deeply informed by his personal history as a former soldier and state-mandated war artist during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. He describes his creative process as an attempt to exorcise "the nightmare inside me" from decades of living through conflict

22/03/2026

Serwan Baran is an Iraqi Kurdish artist whose work is deeply informed by lived experience, history, and psychological tension. He studied at the University of Babylon, College of Fine Arts, graduating in 1992, and went on to teach at the College of Fine Arts at the University of Baghdad for seven years. In 2000, Baran participated in the Summer Academy at Darat al Funun in Amman, where he was mentored by the renowned Syrian modernist Marwan Kassab-Bachi, an encounter that proved formative in shaping his expressive approach to the human figure.
Baran’s later work is widely recognized for its raw emotional intensity and symbolic engagement with themes of war, human suffering, and collective trauma, reflecting both his service as a soldier and his firsthand experience of Iraq’s prolonged conflicts. His paintings often convey a sense of psychological unease, using the figure as a vessel for memory, loss, and endurance.
The present early works, however, reveal a markedly different facet of the artist’s practice. Executed with academic restraint and painterly sensitivity, they depict seemingly tranquil scenes: a delicate landscape with a horse, and an intimate interior gathering of women at leisure. Beneath their calm surfaces, subtle dissonances emerge. In particular, the presence of a maid receding into shadow introduces a quiet but unsettling social tension, foreshadowing Baran’s later preoccupation with power, invisibility, and unease within the everyday.
These early paintings offer rare insight into Baran’s formative years, capturing the technical discipline and observational nuance from which his mature, psychologically charged language would later evolve.
