## Biography

Shereen Audi graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts in Amman in 1992. She continued her studies at the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts Print Workshop and the Darat al Funun Summer Academy, focusing on art and printmaking. During her time there, she collaborated with various artists, including Khaled Khries, Nedim Kufi, Mahmoud Obaidi, and Lynne Allen.
Following her graduation from the Institute of Fine Arts, Audi began showcasing her work in exhibitions. At the beginning of her career, she primarily focused on painting. However, as time progressed, she ventured into exploring mixed media, video art and photography.
Audi advocates equality and full rights for women so that they can achieve their full creative potential. The themes of women and female identity frequently appear in her work.
In her work, she uses various media, including acrylic paint, photography and video art. Audi favours red, black and white in her art. Besides at least ten solo shows, she has participated in group exhibitions in Germany, Bahrain, Lebanon, Algeria, Egypt, and Jordan. In her 10th solo show, Dreams Give Hope, she exhibited collages. In Wall Street International, Rawan Al Adwan described Audi's work as "characterized by simplicity in applying the colors on the canvas without mixing them, an altered perspective including longitudinal and cross lines." Audi has cited Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, Andy Warhol, and Arab contemporary artists as among her influences.
Audi currently resides in Amman.
