Soraya Farha is a multi-dimensional artist who uses painting, writing, and poetry to explore what it means to be human today, responding to the joy and sorrow that she witnesses in the world around her. A lifelong seeker of beauty and justice, Soraya’s journey has taken her from the banks of the Ottawa River and the shores of the Mediterranean, to the study of literature, political philosophy and law. Seeking expression that both calls upon her academic and professional pursuits, and transcends their bounds, over the last decade Soraya has turned to painting and writing from studios in Toronto and in the forest by Skeleton Lake, Ontario. Soraya’s painting Los Troncones is the cover art for Something about Living by Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, which won the 2024 National Book Award (Poetry) and has publishers in the US and UK. Her work has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in Europe and North America, and is held in private collections in Canada, the US and France.
