Born in Beirut, Lebanon, and raised by the Mediterranean Sea, Zalfa Kasti now lives in Vermont, United States, carrying with her an early fascination with the color, horizon, movement, and changing rhythms of water that continue to echo through her memories. Deeply inspired by European culture and her background as a former ballet dancer, she brings an intuitive understanding of rhythm, flow, and spatial movement into her work.

Today, she translates that sense of movement onto canvas through semi-abstract oil and acrylic paintings, using expressive brushwork and palette knife techniques to create rich, tactile layers. Her paintings reflect a dynamic mix of flowing water and the fluid motion of dance, inviting viewers into ever-changing rhythmical tides and immersing them in sculpted waters.
