My family and I have recently moved to Dubai, and as many know, summer here is no joke. To escape the scorching heat, we started our exploration with indoor parks. Our visits to The Green Planet and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi were truly unforgettable. Seeing exotic animals up close, both unfamiliar to us and Dubai, was an incredible experience.
These beautiful creatures, living and thriving in a land far from their natural homes, inspired me to capture their essence through my art. I feel a kindred connection with them, as we are both newcomers, adapting and finding our place in a new land.
As I painted these magnificent animals, I couldn’t help but reflect on our journey—finding beauty and connection in unfamiliar surroundings. Dubai, with its blend of cultures and experiences, offers endless inspiration, and I am excited to share this creative adventure with you.
