Who was Naziha Salim? - Google is Celebrating Naziha Salim with a doodle in a few countries.
Naziha Salim was a painter, professor and one of the most influential artists in Iraq’s contemporary art scene. Her work often depicts rural Iraqi women and peasant life through bold brush strokes and vivid colors.
To paint the scene, Salim was born into a family of Iraqi artists in Turkey. Her father was a painter and her mother was a skilled embroidery artist.
All three of her brothers worked in the arts, including Jawad, who’s widely considered one of Iraq’s most influential sculptors. From an early age she enjoyed making her own art.
Salim enrolled at the Baghdad Fine Arts Institute where she studied painting and graduated with distinction. She continued her education in Paris at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts.
While in Paris, Salim specialized in fresco and mural painting. After graduation, she spent several more years abroad, immersing herself in art and culture.
Salim eventually returned to Baghdad to work at the Fine Arts Institute where she would teach until retirement.
Naziha Salim’s artwork hangs at the Sharjah Art Museum and the Modern Art Iraqi Archive. There you can see the magic she created from dripping brushes and brimmed canvases.
