About Riad Santina

Riad Santina is a Lebanese artist who has been painting since childhood. He studied Fine Arts (Drawing and Painting) at the Lebanese University and works across oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylic, wooden mosaic, and mixed media. His practice is rooted in abstraction yet resists confinement to a single category.
