Shefa Salem is a young woman and self-taught visual artist, who is born and based in the town of Benghazi, Libya. Currently, she is studying architecture at the university of her hometown. Through art, she began in 2018 to show her personal feelings and those of her compatriots regarding the use of distortion which characterizes Libyan politicians since the February 2011-Revolution. This is the reason why his way of making art may result in aggressive and provocative. Despite the fact that she prefers using oils in her works, she made also several acrylic paintings and murals and she also shows an interest in graphic design. After the launch of her project called Tanarout Artspace, she exhibited her works for the first time in her hometown and later in Tripoli – the latter postponed because of the rise of a conflict in this city. She participated also in a group show in Tunisia with artists from all over the world and Iskander art House, organized by the ministry of culture and called “Journées d’Art Contemporain de Carthage”.
