Fahrelnissa Zeid (1901–1991)

Princess Fahrelnissa Zeid was a Turkish‑born Jordanian avant‑garde painter celebrated for

her large‑scale abstract compositions that merged Western modernism with elements of

Islamic and Byzantine aesthetics. Trained in Istanbul and Paris, her work was exhibited

internationally and remains influential in studies of modern abstract art.
