Lujain Ayyad

Lujain is a Saudi Arabian artist with Malay roots. Her work is shaped by her cultural background, focusing on themes of identity, especially within the contexts of the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and the role of Islam in shaping personal and collective experiences.  

Throughout her time at LASALLE College of the Arts, she has had the opportunity to showcase her work in various exhibitions, including the Creative Process Journal exhibition at the Ngee Ann Kongsi Library (2022), The Maketh Corner (2023) and Two 2 Six (2024).

Primarily working in painting and other 2D mediums, Lujain uses colour, abstract forms and occasionally figurative elements to express her reflections. She is particularly drawn to the intersection of identity and spirituality, which remains central to her current practice.

Alongside her art practice, she has developed a growing interest in art conservation. This exposure has deepened her appreciation for preserving cultural heritage, and she hopes to pursue this field alongside her artistic journey.
