As most of us know, Dubai was one of the places that was heavily affected by the financial crisis, Many people were laid off under the justification of "Downsizing", "Restructuring" and "Cash flow problems" .
Farah Nasrawi a talented designer -who happens to be my cousin - was one of those people mentioned above, but instead of losing faith, hanging around, and doing nothing she starts working on her painting skill, which I found amazing, I shall leave you now with some of her paintings.
Note: the description under each picture is taken as mentioned by the artist.
Description: My cat, Caramel - was asleep next to me one night....I couldn't resist sketching her!
Description: You can decide what this is - i know what it is! :P
Description: Butterfly - taken from a real image i found in one of my dad's old Butterfly books.
Description:In a dark moment..
Description: Happy!
Description: Hope
Description:Ornamentation (Zakharafah) that i worked on this summer - the Arabic Calligraphy in the center still needs to be added.
Description: A close up of the ornamentation (zakhrafeh), so detailed, everything hand drawn and painted, took almost a month and a half - which was record-breaking!
