Dina Saadi is an artist and muralist currently based in Dubai. Born in Russia and raised in Syria to graduate with a BA in fine arts, she uses art to speak her mind, to express her emotions and to showcase her ideas.
Her art depicts the diversity of urban spaces; the characteristics of modern life; the allure of wildlife; the beauty of plants and the mystery of natural elements.
Dina has worked with brands like Apple, Instagram, Uber, Audi, Nike, Levi’s, Estée Lauder and many more. Dina has participated in a number of street art festivals & global projects and she’s also traveled continents and painted on some of the walls in the Middle East, Europe, USA, Asia, and Africa.
She hopes to bring social change through her murals; to bring vibrancy; to transform public spaces into galleries and to tackle global challenges
