Alia Corm painter

"The aim of art is to present not the outward
appearence of things, but their inner significance"

Aristotle 

Alia Corm is a Franco-Lebanese abstract artist whose work is an exploration of emotion, identity, and spontaneous creation. A self-taught painter, Alia draws deeply from her dual heritage and the artistic legacy of her grandfather, Georges Daoud Corm, a pioneer of modern Lebanese painting.

Alia’s artistic journey began to take shape after moving to Cyprus in 2011. Her work is rooted in a spontaneous, intuitive process, creating visual dialogues that invite reflection and connection. Each piece serves as a mirror of the human experience, capturing the delicate balance between inner contemplation and external expression.

Alia’s understanding of cultural narratives and artistic expression was fuelled by her academic background and work experience in History and Cultural Heritage Management. Today, she continues to exhibit internationally and engage in creative collaborations, all while maintaining a practice centred on the poetry of existence and the power of abstract compositions. She also shares her passion for art during weekly workshops held at her studio.


"My work is a continuous dialogue between the visible and the invisible, a reflection of my soul and the viewer's. I seek to create a connection, to bring to light the shared essence of being present in the world. My process is spontaneous, allowing the canvas to guide me, reflecting the present moment."
