BIO

Montrealer of Lebanese origin, Pia Metni explores subjects such as the search for identity, the meaning of human experience and the fullness of silence and solitude, delivering a complex rhetoric, full of meaning and exploration,  through a stimulating and simplistic tension of these linear minimalist works.

Mother of two, she lived her early childhood during Beirut's Civil War. Following the death of her father, her Quebec mother settled back in Canada with her younger sister and her. Before devoting herself entirely to her visual artistic practice, she excelled for more than 10 years in orthopedic medical sales, during which she took acting classes at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York and Los Angeles.
