BIO OF INSTRUCTOR

Our instructor is a young Dubai-based abstract artist who moved to the Emirates from India around 8 years back and developed her career. She is known for her fusion of metallic textured abstracts and calligraphy. For her, abstract was an expression of art. Using materials such as modeling paste, palette knives, and paint scrapers allows her to build layers, texture, and contrast to give a 3d view to each work.

The artist likes to create mixed media abstracts as well as fluid abstracts using minimal as well as heavy textures. Combining this with her passion for incorporating Arabic calligraphy into her work helped her to create a masterpiece of original contemporary Arabic calligraphy abstract. “Even if it’s completely abstract, the artwork has its own inner sound” Quoted by the instructor

For the last five years, her passion has helped her to enhance residential and commercial interior with a bespoke piece of contemporary artwork. She worked directly with her clients, as well as interior designers. She participates in local art markets such as Ripe and Arte. Her works were sold in World Art Dubai. A few years back she started to create Arabic calligraphy designs which grabbed the attention of dining and décor suppliers under the landmark group of UAE. Her digital calligraphy designs are present around the emirates, as her products are being used in eleven stores of Home box all over the UAE and altogether 37 stores in GCC.

Apart from a self-taught artist, she is now a tutor at the workshop Dubai, Jumeirah. Since last two years she has conducted 15-20 workshops in both abstract as well as basic Arabic calligraphy. She believes that the Emirates has an important role in achieving her success. The United Arab Emirates is a place that provides endless opportunities for people to achieve their dreams
