Dana Awartani (b. 1987) is a Saudi-Palestinian artist whose practice is deeply rooted in the Islamic geometric tradition. Working across painting, embroidery, and installation, she investigates the spiritual and mathematical underpinnings of Islamic art, transforming ancient patterns into meditations on memory, loss, and healing.

Awartani studied at the Prince's School of Traditional Arts in London and has exhibited widely across the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Her work is held in major private and institutional collections, and she has been recognized as one of the most significant voices in contemporary art from the Arab world.
