Asma Soussi is a self-taught painter whose work is deeply inspired by nature and its contrasts. Her artistic approach combines sensitivity and strength, capturing the raw beauty of landscapes through compositions where light and texture play a central role. Her love for living things, born from an early fascination with natural phenomena, led her to pursue advanced studies in microbiology, culminating in a PhD in Environmental Science and Engineering. This scientific background nourishes her artistic vision: her paintings reflect a dual approach, blending rigorous observation with a sensitive interpretation of the forms, materials, and dynamics of the natural world. Driven by a quest for authenticity, she enhanced her skills by completing fine arts training, refining both her technique and her ability to express the subtleties of reality. Her preferred medium, oil painting, provides her with an ideal space for exploration, allowing her to reveal the nuances of matter and bring forth vibrant, powerful, and emotive works. While nature remains at the heart of her creations, Asma Soussi is now expanding her field of exploration. She turns to figurative subjects where humans, animals, or architecture become anchors for expressing new forms of presence and emotion, signaling an openness to new narrative and symbolic dimensions. Through each of her paintings, she invites the viewer to contemplate, to feel, and to reconnect deeply with the world around us.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My work emerges from a deep dialogue with nature. I seek to capture its raw energy, its subtle rhythms, and the contrasts that shape our perception of the living world. Light and texture are central to my process, guiding compositions that balance strength and sensitivity.

With a background in environmental sciences, I approach painting both as an act of observation and as a space for emotion. Oil painting, with its richness and depth, allows me to explore matter in a way that feels both tactile and expressive.

While landscapes and organic forms remain a strong presence in my work, I am increasingly drawn to figurative subjects—faces, animals, architectural traces—that carry new symbolic dimensions. Each canvas is an invitation to pause, to reflect, and to rediscover a sense of connection with the world around us.
