Amina Ben Ismaïl

Amina Ben Ismaïl (born in 1995) is a Tunisian artist based in London. With a background in anthropology, visual arts and theatre, she divides her time between painting and filmmaking.

Her artistic practice involves layering oil pastels over brightly coloured acrylic or oil paint. Drawing inspiration from the observation of the worlds around her and her own lived experiences, her work explores collective joy as a political space and a form of resistance.
