Randa Hijazi is a Syrian-Canadian contemporary visual artist based in Laval, Quebec. Born in Damascus, Syria, she studied Fine Arts and later Journalism and Media Sciences at the University of Damascus, a dual background that allows her to combine the sensitivity of an artist with the observational perspective of a storyteller. Her life and career have spanned several cultural landscapes, from Syria to Dubai and eventually Canada, each shaping her artistic vision and contributing to a unique voice that bridges Eastern heritage with contemporary Western perspectives.

Hijazi’s work explores humanitarian themes such as war, poverty, injustice, and the preservation of cultural memory. Through painting and mixed media, she documents the histories and identities of different communities, using art as a way to foster empathy and dialogue across cultures. Her practice has evolved from a style blending Impressionism and Realism toward a more contemporary approach that incorporates elements of surrealism and abstraction, notably in her ongoing body of work Human Threads, which reflects on the emotional and symbolic connections that bind humanity together.

Her work has been exhibited internationally in Syria, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, France, and Canada, receiving recognition from critics, collectors, and cultural institutions. Through her artistic practice, Hijazi continues to use visual storytelling as a powerful means of connecting cultures, preserving heritage, and highlighting shared human experiences across borders.
