Tasnim Baghdadi

Tasnim Baghdadi is a German-Moroccan illustrator, visual artist and designer based in Münster. Her artistic work is inspired by her fascination for both, traditional and modern art, searching for a visual language in between the abstract and the concrete. Tasnim’s illustrations and creative experiments mingle visual worlds of the past with the language of our contemporary (digital) age. She aims to communicate personal and collective memory as well as a sense of longing and belonging within diaspora identity with help of metaphorical repetition and melancholic visual poems. As both, a graduate of art history and a self-taught illustrator and visual artist, she constantly takes in both perspectives and seeks to find a gap between theory and creative practice, while mainly focusing on the female face, portraits and character design. Tasnim Baghdadi sees art as a multidisciplinary interplay of different genres which she constantly uses to reclaim her multifaceted, hybrid identity as a female Muslim artist.
