Who I Am?
MY BIO
I am born in 1996, Dubai, UAE, and I’m an artist that is studying in Zayed University for a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts. I specialize in commissioning painting and illustration, and have an interest in working with many regional galleries and art exhibitions in the country. I had a few of my artworks featured in publications such as the Shagaf Art Biennale, and commissioned work for independent businesses. I am interested in con- temporary work that focuses on social and cultural awareness, also hope to work closely in galleries and exhibitions such as Art Jameel and The Third Line.
My work
ARTIST STATEMENT
I believe my work represents a wide scope of concepts and ideas; mainly, I focus on social and cultural issues and its relevance in our current time. I am also interested in the human condition and the psychology of it all, and how it can tie into societal norms and traditions, with the focus never straying from my experience as an Arab woman in the middle east.
e project I am working on is about the psychology of human self-perception and emotional repression and how they can affect a person and their reality. I want to focus on portraiture and visually represent the distorted and warped idea we have about ourselves and potentially our surroundings.
Because of those emotions and turbulent feelings, different aspects of our lives try to fight for our attention, and I want to visually show this war that goes on in our minds.
I think that a lot of people can relate to this topic because it is something that is common in our society and generation. We often feel the stress of overachieving and can easily forget and lose our identity and sense of self.
