Paola Skaff

Paola Maria Skaff is a Lebanese artist with a rich multicultural background—Dutch-Indonesian, Italian, and Lebanese. Born in Beirut and raised in a creative household, she discovered her love for oil painting at 16 and has been exploring it ever since. Her studies took her from ALBA and CAAM in Lebanon to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, with further training in London and Bali. After years abroad, Paola returned to Beirut to reconnect with her roots and focus on sharing her journey through oil painting and poetry.
