Nadia Younes is a visual artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, installation, video, and writing. Born in Nazareth and based in both New York and New Haven, she explores themes of displacement, borders, instability, access, and overlooked spatial systems.
Drawing from construction sites, industrial materials, demolition, and temporary architecture, Younes integrates classical painting techniques with resin, paint skins, metal conduit, found fragments, and other construction remnants. Her work navigates the boundaries between surface and structure, containment and collapse, and access and refusal.
Younes holds an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from the Yale School of Art and a BFA from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. Her work has been exhibited at Perrotin, Future Fair, OCD Gallery, SoMad, ZAZ10TS Times Square, The Study at Yale, The Institute Library, and 63 Audubon Gallery. She is the 2026–2027 Emma Bee Bernstein Fellow at A.I.R. Gallery.
