Atallah
Artist
“I utilize mixed media to create works that explore the relationship between past, present, and future. By combining abstract and representational forms, I create visual narratives that encourage viewers to reflect on the intersections of personal and collective experiences. Rooted in my Lebanese heritage and influenced by cultural storytelling, my thesis at OCAD University focuses on the experiences of the diaspora and how cultural history and personal memory come together to shape identity. Through my Art, I aim to evoke a sense of connection and shared memory, inviting viewers to find moments of their own stories within my work.”

Thomas Atallah is a visual Artist based in Toronto. Atallah's work explores themes of identity, heritage, and belonging through both abstract and representational forms. Atallah’s practice spans painting, drawing, and artistic direction, with aspirations to challenge traditional perceptions of form and space in a future role as a creative director. Currently completing a degree at OCAD University, Atallah is developing a thesis centred on the intersections of culture and personal narrative.
