Ebtesam Saleh (b. 2002) is a Saudi visual artist and sculptor who utilizes various tools and techniques in her practice, including welding and woodwork. Drawing inspiration from nature, personal experiences and the study of materials, Saleh adopts a sustainable approach to create all her artworks, which include metal sculptures made from recycled iron pieces.
The Riyadh-based creative began her artistic journey with a visual arts degree in sculpture from Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University in Riyadh, where she was exposed to the broader field of arts and explored different mediums and methods to develop her craft. Saleh further honed her skills through specialized training programs and participation in significant local exhibitions, such as the Industrial Art Exhibition, Dhahran, in 2023, Misk Art Week, Riyadh, in 2022 and Shaqra Sculpture Forum, Saudi Arabia, in 2022.
