Picasso reincarnate, the new talented Emarati artist Kawla Al Marri mixes her work with pleasure in other words Art and fashion. The Dubai based artist inspirations were from her childhood age the 80’s and the 90’s. Khawla paints about her favourite icons and legand's like Karl Lagerfeld , Anna Wintour & Christian Louboutin also known as “Red Soles” to name a few. What’s awe-inspiring in Kawla’s work is the touch of Arabic in her paintings like the Karl’s portrait. Van Gogh and Andy Warhol play a major influence in Khawla’s work. Khawla worked on a lot of projects as I mentioned the Lagerfeld, Alexander McQueen and the 80’s show girl and icon Sharihan! .... I also can’t wait to see the new paintings about the legendary in gulf and the Arab world Mohammed Abdu! Not to forget a special thanks to Khawla for helping me to come up with this blog and its ideas !
Some of my fav's:
“Sharihan was an 80's sensation who was nsidered an entertainment icon in the Arab world. An actress, a performer and a singer who made us fall in love with television. She was simply our own "Lady Gaga" who considered our hearts with her musical performance. This Art project is more of a childhood memory.” – Khawla Al Marri
Wow didn't know you had a blog! Anyway, luvvvv Khawla's work.. Do you know if any of her work is for sale, and where can I get my hands on any of her pieces?
