Emilie is a Dubai-based artist of Lebanese origin, combining her background in filmmaking and visual arts to create a distinctive and personal style. A painter whose medium of choice is oil on canvas, Emilie’s artistic expression is shaped by her background in film production and her experience as a creative entrepreneur. Her work speaks to the way emotions are captured in fleeting moments, forever frozen in time, and the ways in which these moments contribute to the linear journey of life.
