Dubai-based Egyptian artist Aidha Badr’s first solo show marks a bold creative evolution, exploring the shifting sands of womanhood through vivid, whimsical paintings. Titled 'I’m Never Coming Back', the exhibition – on view until November 7 at Firetti Contemporary – features galloping horses and a woman resembling Badr herself, reflecting the mental space inhabited by the artist, who is a new mother. Speaking to #VogueArabia, Badr shares that her artistic approach was shaped not only by traditional tools but also by beauty products, specifically in the hands of #HudaKattan. “I actually found it easier to learn by watching make-up tutorials than anything else. This was during the peak of YouTube’s make-up tutorial era around 2015, and Huda was really at the forefront of that moment,” she recalls.

يمثل أول معرض فردي للفنانة المصرية عايدة بدر، المقيمة في دبي، نقطة تحول بارزة في مسيرتها الإبداعية، حيث تستكشف التحولات المتغيرة للأنوثة عبر لوحات خيالية مفعمة بالحياة. المعرض، الذي يحمل عنوان لن أعود أبدًا (I’m Never Coming Back) ويستمر حتى 7 نوفمبر في غاليري "فيريتي كونتيمبوراري"، يعرض خيولًا جامحة وصورًا للمرأة التي تشبه بدر نفسها، مما يعكس حالتها الذهنية كأم حديثة العهد بالإنجاب. وفي حوار خاص مع "ڤوغ العربية"، كشفت عايدة أن أسلوبها لم يستمد إلهامه من الأدوات الفنية التقليدية فحسب، بل من مستحضرات التجميل أيضًا، وتحديدًا أدوات خبيرة التجميل هدى قطان. وتوضح قائلةً: "لقد وجدتُ بالفعل أن التعلم من خلال مشاهدة دروس المكياج كان أسهل من أي شيء آخر. كان ذلك في ذروة عصر دروس المكياج على يوتيوب حوالي عام 2015، وكانت هدى حقًا في صدارة تلك المرحلة".

Artist Aidha Badr (@aidhabadr) is the cover star of Emirates Woman’s “The Discovery Issue.” Based in Dubai, the Brooklyn-born Egyptian-American painter has built a body of work that has become recognised for its distinctive wonder-filled visual approach. She uses recurring motifs such as cumulus clouds, whimsical horses and self-portraiture as a way to explore the shared human experiences of grief and transformation.
“I think my work speaks about a lot of universal feelings and a lot of universal truths. Grief, loss. I want my work to resonate with people on that level, and maybe not so much give them closure, but sort of remind them of something else,” Badr tells our senior editor @jessicamichault, reflecting on the thread that runs through everything she creates.

Aidha Badr’s (@aidhabadr) painting I’m Never Coming Back arrived to her first in a dream, one in which she stood on a cliff above open water in Lebanon and watched a horse swimming below before deciding to follow it. She woke knowing exactly what to paint: a full-grown horse standing protectively over a toy one, clouds behind them spelling out the title of the piece. “That truly is what it feels like to be a mom. It’s a version of yourself that you have to grow into and it’s also, in a way, grieving your past self,” she tells our senior editor @jessicamichault, describing the painting that anchored her solo show of the same name at Firetti Contemporary (@firetti.contemporary).
Her daughter Il’lyna, not yet two, now accompanies the artist everywhere, a presence Badr credits with sharpening her discipline rather than her style. “It made me take my art more seriously because I wanted to set a good example for my daughter. I want my daughter to grow up seeing me do what I love, and to know that there’s room for all of it,” she says.

Aidha Badr’s (@aidhabadr) recurring motif of clouds traces back to the death of her grandfather Mohammed in 2016, one of the formative losses of her life, and a belief that doing good in this world might one day reunite them in the next. Over time, though, that symbolism has softened into something else entirely. “More recently, I think they represent childlike wonder, because you can look up at the clouds and they’re always changing and shifting and then you can kind of just get a glimpse of something fun,” she tells our senior editor @jessicamichault.
That same instinct toward wonder shapes how she wants her work to land with the people who encounter it. “Even though my work looks very serious sometimes, it’s always about kind of unserious and childish topics,” Badr says, describing the dichotomy that runs through pieces she first began showing at Firetti Contemporary (@firetti.contemporary).

Aidha Badr’s practice explores memory, femininity, desire, attachment, and the emotional landscapes of childhood🩵
For ‘Being Her’, @aidhabadr presents a series of paintings centred around departure and grief, reflecting on her own experience of leaving Cyprus, a place she once called home, and the strange process of grieving somewhere that still exists, but no longer feels the same.
Ordinary objects become vessels for memory and longing. Chairs symbolise togetherness, companionship and unity: one chair for you, one for your feet, or a place once shared with someone you loved. The rose appears as a symbol of desire, alongside the reluctance to act upon it. The End speaks to departure, and to the quiet finality of leaving.
Aidha describes returning to Cyprus as returning to “a long memory”: familiar, yet no longer home.
Through these works, she paints ordinary objects with complete sincerity, allowing memory, absence and longing to speak through the everyday.

01/31 — Aidha Badr
Egypt / USA
Aidha Badr paints from an intimate place, where personal history, femininity, and inner change quietly surface.
I Want To Leave III holds the feeling of wanting distance while still remaining emotionally tied to what is being left behind.
I Want To Leave V continues that tension, carrying both movement and hesitation within its soft, almost dreamlike blue field.
Together, the two works feel like chapters from the same private journey: the desire to leave, the difficulty of departure, and the self that emerges in between.
Aidha’s practice is deeply personal and instinctive, shaped by the emotional realities of womanhood, motherhood, and becoming.
For HOLD BEIRUT, Aidha offers two works that speak to change, departure, and the courage it takes to move toward something new.
