Bissan Rafe (Arabic: بيسان رافع) is a Palestinian American visual artist, animator and writer from Houston, Texas. Her work has been exhibited in various galleries and biennials throughout the world including: USA, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Japan, UK and Palestine.[1]
Artwork
Bissan's artwork ranges from oil paintings, illustrations to literature. Her art connects the concept of world culture and folklore. An underlying theme of her work usually revolves around multiple phases dealing with cycles of production, destruction, and reestablishment homage to the Palestinian diaspora.
She is also noted for her unique fiction writings and illustrated novelettes in the literary fiction anthology Μυρτισα II: The Perfect Work, a 4 volume series that includes four semi-illustrated stories in chronological order: Grandlazar, Veilchen, Verlassen and Repressalie).
