Rema Ghuloum is a Los Angeles-based painter of Lebanese-Jordanian-Kuwaiti heritage. Working within abstraction, Rema approaches painting as an investigation into emotional states and perceptual experience, shaped by a diasporic perspective that moves across multiple cultural and geographical frameworks. Alongside her studio practice, she is a Reiki practitioner, and this engagement with energy and the body informs the conceptual grounding of her work. Her paintings register a range of human conditions, from grief and rupture to a heightened awareness of beauty, as sensation, atmosphere and elemental forces converge.
