Najla El Zein is a Lebanese artist and designer based between Amsterdam and Beirut. Her work grows from an intuitive approach in which narrative, craftsmanship, and materiality guide each piece. Engaging closely with materials such as stone, ceramic, and glass, she approaches these as living matter shaped through time and process. Her practice moves fluidly between object, sculpture, and spatial installation, developing works that invite a direct and sensory engagement. In 2024, she received the Dia Al-Azzawi Prize for Public Art.
