Zena Yachoui, born in Lebanon, graduated with high honors in fashion design from the renowned ESMOD
school in Nice, France. Upon returning to her home country, she thrived as an independent fashion
designer under the name “Zena Semaan.”
However, her creativity is not limited to fashion. Zena also turned to painting, exploring various mediums such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, and color blends.
Her goal is to create beautiful compositions that combine vibrant colors with semi-abstract elements. Zena’s paintings are characterized by an exploration of dynamics, light and shadow, and emotional contrasts. They provide an escape from social expectations and pressures, inviting viewers to simply appreciate, explore, and be carried away. Her work represents a form of personal healing and liberation.
One of her pieces was selected to be exhibited at the National American-Lebanese Museum in Washington, DC.
