About

Fathia
Alatise

Fathia Alatise is a multidisciplinary artist based in Dublin, working in mediums ranging from animation and digital art to painting and photography. These media aren’t just a way of working for Fathia; they're also used to understand the world, humanity, and how the two interact. This manifests in a focus on the nuances that shape the human experience and things that are often overlooked or difficult to start discussions about. An example of this is her work on diaspora groups and displacement. Fathia’s passion for fairy tales and mythology influences her visual communication and storytelling.

Fathia draws inspiration from everyday interactions, growing her understanding through hearing the stories of others, travelling, experiencing unfamiliar cultures, and collecting unfiltered new perspectives by working with children. She has illustrated for the Irish Independent, in addition to volunteering with Fighting Words.

Her practice is a way of metabolising creative tributaries and resolving internal biases to make something others can relate to. If you’re interested in character-driven work with emotive visuals or collaboration, she would love to hear from you.
