Randa Maddah is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, drawing, sculpture, video, and installation. A graduate of the Adham Ismail Center in Damascus, Maddah furthered her education at the Damascus University’s Faculty of Fine Arts (2005) and the Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. She holds a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from the National School of Fine Arts in Paris (2020).

Maddah’s work is deeply influenced by the political and social complexities of her homeland. Growing up in the Golan Heights, her art reflects the chaos and instability imposed by occupation. She critically engages with memory, displacement, and identity, often reflecting the shared sense of lost identity and damaged memory among the residents on both sides of the border. Maddah’s art invites viewers to question and reflect on complex emotions and trauma, using visual documentation to process and reframe lived experiences. Her work remains a poignant commentary on the intersection of personal and collective histories, urging a deeper understanding of the human condition amidst political strife.

Her multidisciplinary output features elements of nature, floating objects, and circular motifs, symbolising the cyclical nature of existence and the return to origins. Recently, her works on canvas have evolved to express themes of sanctuary and liberation, inspired by the belief in reincarnation and the transformative power of nature.

A founding member of Fatiha Madrasa for Arts and Culture in the Golan Heights and l’association Portes ouvertes sur l’art in Paris, Maddah is committed to advancing intercultural dialogue and artistic exchange.
