Farah Qarmout began her artistic practice after studying business administration, experimenting with various materials like pencil, charcoal, pastels, and watercolor before expanding into oil paint. She presented her first solo exhibition Relative Calm in 2023 and has since participated in numerous group shows, including the exhibitions Life Option, Stories from the Place, and Free Space at Dar al-Kalima University, all in 2023; Fragments of the City at the French Cultural Institute, Gaza, in 2023; This Is Not an Exhibition at the Palestinian Museum in 2024; and the exhibitions Gaza: A Moment of Becoming and Turning Point, at Al-Qattan Cultural Centre, Ramallah, both in 2024. After October 2023, Farah Qarmout faced multiple displacements within Gaza before relocating with her family to Cairo in April 2024. Her studio and many of her works were destroyed in the bombing of the Shifa area of Gaza City. The fate of paintings stored in her family’s home remains unknown. Despite the upheaval and uncertainty, she continues to develop her artistic voice across painting, sculpture, photography, and conceptual art.
