Andrea Nassar

Andrea Nassar is an Australian-born ceramic artist based in Beirut. After relocating to Lebanon to study Graphic Design at the American University of Beirut, she spent over 15 years working in corporate and print design before returning to her longstanding interest in craft.

Her practice emerged through a shift from digital processes to the tactile language of clay. She trained under Australian-Lebanese ceramicist Neville Salha and continued developing her work in studios in Sydney and Thessaloniki.

Drawing inspiration from botanical structures and the quiet repetition found in natural systems, Nassar’s work reflects an ongoing dialogue between nature, memory, and material. Working primarily in porcelain and stoneware, she constructs intricate, highly detailed forms informed by the textures and rhythms of the natural world. Her pieces explore a tension between vulnerability and strength, capturing both the fleeting and the enduring, and reflecting a quiet balance between transience and permanence.

Since establishing her full-time studio practice in Lebanon in 2018, Nassar has exhibited internationally, including at PAD London represented by PIK’D gallery  and Collect Art Fair London, represented by PIK’D gallery as well as in Beirut, Milan, and Sydney.
