Nawaf Tamim, known artistically as Nadian Benz, is a multimedia artist from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. His practice spans sound design, performance, video art, 3D, and fabric-based work. Growing up in a rich cultural melting pot, Nawaf developed a deep understanding of identity and tradition. His work merges his Bedouin heritage with the realities of modern life, leading to a movement he calls “The Bedouin Renaissance.”
Through his art, Nawaf aims to inspire global change and contribute to ongoing cultural shifts in Saudi Arabia and the wider art world. His work has been exhibited internationally, in London, Scotland, Las Vegas, New York, Richmond, and Washington, D.C.
