Karima Ben Otman (b. 1972, London) is a Libyan–Jordanian fine artist whose surreal, emotionally charged paintings transcend cultural boundaries. A graduate of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, she has lived and exhibited across Europe and the Middle East, with works held in the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts and the Loukia-Michael Zampelas Art Museum in Cyprus.
