Maisa Shaldan, born in Riyadh in 1975, is a Saudi visual artist of Palestinian origin. At the beginning of her artistic journey, she worked with art as a therapeutic tool through her profession as a psychological counselor. This early engagement with art therapy became the starting point of her artistic path and shaped her approach to creative expression.

In her artistic practice, she explores identity, memory, and material as a living archive. She works conceptually, using iron, palm fronds, and natural pigments as metaphors for time and transformation.

She has an academic background in psychology and Islamic studies and holds a specialization in art therapy. Shaldan has participated in local and international exhibitions, including UNESCO platforms. She received the Misk Art Grant in 2023 and participated in Tuwaiq Sculpture 2026.
