About

Lujayn Hasan (b. 1997) is a Bahraini painter whose work spans oil, acrylic and drawing. Her practice explores femininity, memory and the domestic, examining the roles women are expected to perform and the inner lives they keep beneath them. Through a recurring blue figure, set within interiors that grow warmer around her while she remains blue, she questions the gap between visibility and concealment: the woman who is present but never fully seen.

Alongside this, Lujayn paints Bahrain from within, drawing on childhood memory, local subcultures, and places that now survive only in memory. Working with flattened perspective and saturated colour, she turns ordinary scenes of everyday life into records of a society in transition, asking what is lost when shared spaces and rituals disappear. Across both bodies of work, she is interested in what is lived but rarely said. She is a self-taught painter based in Bahrain, and her work has been exhibited in Bahrain and the Netherlands, including Meaningful/less at Alriwaq (2025) and [re/dis]cover (2019).
