Virginie Dreyer is a French artist based in Bahrain.

Working across film, drawing, and animation, she explores intimate spaces where memory, identity, and perception intersect.

Her recent film Conversation with My Mother, built around a recorded conversation with her mother as memory fades, was selected for La Nuit de l’Année at the Rencontres d’Arles.

Alongside her film practice, she creates site-specific murals and public artworks in Bahrain. Recent projects include works developed along the UNESCO World Heritage Pearling Path.

She is also the founder of tinyOm, a fine jewelry studio rooted in symbolic and spiritual exploration, crafted by Bahraini artisans.
