Sonia Ben Slimane Besada

Sonia Ben Slimane Besada (born in 1996 in Tunis) is a Tunisian-Spanish visual artist based in Copenhagen. Trained at the Atelier de Sèvres, the École nationale supérieure d'art de Limoges and then the Københavns Kunstskole, she works in painting, ceramics and sculpture. Her compositions draw on tales, poetry and the oldest of images, from the cave paintings of Altamira and Charama to the hangings of East Asia. Out of them comes a bestiary of bulls, foxes, flying fish and lemon moons, somewhere between magical realism and childhood memory. Her work has been shown in Tunis in the exhibition Musk & Amber (2025) and at Archivart Gallery with "Cette part de vestiges en moi…" (2026).
