Biography

Nadia Younes is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, installation, and video. Her practice focuses on material transformation, spatial perception, and questions of confession, control, and visibility. She often uses industrial materials like resin, pewter, and salvaged metal, forming unstable, tactile structures that examine how space and identity are shaped, fragmented, or withheld.

She was born in Nazareth to a Palestinian refugee father and a former Soviet Union immigrant mother. Younes is currently an MFA candidate in Painting and Printmaking at the Yale School of Art, expected to graduate in 2025. She studied at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem (2022) and the St. Petersburg Stiglitz Academy for Art and Industry (2018).
