Born in Amman, Riham Ghassib studied art in the United States. Since 1987, she has held ten solo exhibitions and has participated in numerous group shows in the region and abroad. Her openness to "the magic of nature," as she puts it, has contributed a great deal to the development of her work. Whereas her earlier works focused on social satire, she has recently been able, in her own words, "to penetrate the beauty and appropriate the aesthetic secrets of nature." Her unique vision of the Jordanian countryside, its cities and villages, and her intense passion for nature, allow her to create canvases brimming with harmony and optimism.
