Born 1983 in Baghdad, Iraq, Mira Dibaja is a self-taught digital painter who expressed an early interest in the arts being a child of two painters. The diversity of nationalities in her family and nomadic life she has led is reflected in her works. Having a father from Bent Jbeil, a mother from Baghdad, and spending her childhood in Jordan and studying at university in Damascus, Mira depicts human emotions by focusing on the faces of her characters, adding symbols and texture in an embodiment of their feelings, and objecting to the boundaries that separate us by birth.
