Born in 1962 in Beirut, Dinah Diwan moved to Italy in 1975 and graduated with a degree from the Paris School of Architecture in 1987. Very soon after, she opened a studio exploring the theme of life by the Mediterranean Sea through her multidisciplinary approach to art; creating paintings, drawings, designs, architecture, and ceramics. She has exhibited her work in galleries in Paris, including two solo exhibitions at the prestigious Esther Woerdehoff Gallery. Although primarily an architect, Dinah is an artist at heart and has been commissioned to design projects such as limited edition lithographs, graphics for the World Bank, and memorabilia for the Paris Jewish Museum. Most recently, she has lent her illustrative talents to The Ethnic Paris Cookbook (DK/Penguin). She currently resides with her husband and three children in Paris.
