RUBA SALAMEH

Ruba Salameh is a Palestinian artist based in Berlin. She holds B.A. and M.F.A. degrees in Fine Arts from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem. Her multidisciplinary practice spans painting, video, photography, and collage, often addressing themes of memory, fragmentation, and the impact of colonialism in shaping collective identities. In recent years, Salameh has focused primarily on abstract painting, employing techniques of repetition, layering, and erasure to create textured compositions. With aesthetic references to early modernist movements such as Bauhaus, Russian Constructivism and the Dutch De Stijl, she has created a visual style that combines geometric structures with personal stories, weaving her observations drawn from lived experience into emotional abstract landscapes that carry historical weight. Her work has been exhibited internationally in both solo and group shows, including Cipher (with Pouran Jinchi) at Gazelli Art House, London (2024); Beyond Home: A Feminist Deconstruction at Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Berlin (2023); Tensegrity at Zawyeh Gallery, Dubai (2020); Art Dubai (2021); and 800 Meters Above the Sea Level at Forum Schlossplatz, Switzerland (2017).
