Nourie Flayhan
Nourie is a Lebanese illustrator and visual storyteller whose work is deeply rooted in heritage, memory and the lives of women. Born to Lebanese parents and raised across Kuwait, Lebanon and the UK, Nourie’s art reflects a layered sense of identity and belonging that resonates across the diaspora.
Known for her richly symbolic style, Nourie’s illustrations use flowing lines, luminous colours and evocative details to explore personal and collective histories. She centres women’s experiences in her work, drawing from Arabic poetry and the quiet rituals of everyday life.
Her art has appeared in global campaigns for Gucci Beauty, Cartier and Carolina Herrera, yet remains grounded in documenting cultural heritage, sparking dialogue and celebrating the strength of women who sustain traditions across generations.
