TASNIM BAGHDADI (1988 in Cologne) is a painter and artist based in Zurich and Berlin. In her work, she explores the intertwining of painting, meaning and abstraction, focusing on the poetics of physical correlations and the production of signs and textures. With her semiotic approach, she questions established interpretations of knowledge and language and explores interconnected thought structures. Her artworks are visual expressions of thought.
She works with various media, including drawing, painting, printmaking and installation. Tasnim Baghdadi holds an M.A. in art history from the University of Bonn, studied graphic design in Venlo and completed a study of curation at the Berlin University of the Arts. She is also co-director of the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zurich.
