Bettina Khoury Badr is a Lebanese visual artist and educator whose practice explores the tension between abstraction and representation, gesture and stillness. Drawing on Lebanon, memory, and lived experience, her work investigates fragments of reality through painting and mixed media.

Her work has been exhibited in Lebanon and internationally, including at the Sursock Museum, Galerie Tanit, Art on 56th, the Boghossian Foundation in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou, and VIMA Art Fair.

Badr has taught at the Lebanese American University in Beirut since 2010, alongside her ongoing studio practice. Her teaching and artistic research engage painting, visual perception, abstraction, representation, memory, and fragmented narratives.
