The artist has exhibited in Lebanon, France, Jordan, the United States and the United Arab Emirates. Beirut, The Phantom City, a Beirut exhibition, portraying a city devastated in 1992, was a milestone in the beginning of her career. Since then, all his work evolves around a recurring theme: Lebanon, its traditions and cultures. Through her characters, mainly women, she manages to convey with precision her great complexity and diversity. More on Mona Trad Dabaji
