Paula Chahine
Paula Chahine graduated from USEK with a degree in interior architecture. Her two favorite subjects at the university, painting and history of art, marked her lifestyle and career immensely.
Between 1999 and 2005, her abstract style and layered painting techniques, which often featured acrylic on canvas, were well received in the region and helped her create and sell more than 700 paintings in Lebanon, Kuwait, Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
She established her own creative atelier in 2005, but stopped painting, driven by a stronger desire to fully focus on big interior design projects where she exhibited a unique style in space management and volumetric designs.

Now, after years of hard work and self-development, many successful projects, hundreds of stories to tell and, of course, a new, strong wave of emotion and passion, Paula is painting again.
This comeback was celebrated in June 2014 with her first solo exhibition, at Station Beirut, full of painfully strong emotions reflecting on the human condition and analyzing people from the inside out.
