CS (AE)

CS (AE) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intricate intersections of memory, identity, and the built environment. Drawing inspiration from both urban landscapes and organic forms, CS melds painting, sculpture, and digital media to evoke an experience that is at once deeply personal and universally resonant. Born and based in the United Arab Emirates, CS’s artistic journey has been shaped by the region’s rapid transformation and cultural hybridity, resulting in a dynamic dialogue between tradition and innovation.

Over the past decade, CS has exhibited widely across the Middle East and internationally, with work featured in group and solo exhibitions as well as interdisciplinary projects that bridge art, architecture, and community engagement. CS’s practice is characterized by an intuitive approach to materiality, frequently repurposing found objects and architectural remnants to construct spaces that invite reflection and interaction. With a commitment to fostering creative exchange, CS also facilitates workshops and collaborates with emerging artists, continually expanding the boundaries of art’s role within contemporary society.
