About
Niati is a painter, singer, and poet. She often accompanies her painting with Algerian songs and reads her own poetry in French in an attempt to bring the past, present, and future together. Her paintings (mainly in oil paintings and pastels) are very much expressive and embody feminist issues and proclaim her objection to stereotyping Arab women. She sees her work as ‘a visual explosion of the mind, an interaction of ideas in space and time’. Her work is influenced by her rich cultural background and consists of strong Arab-Muslim influences from her family and her experiences growing during the French occupation.
