This soft pastels portrait of a Palestinian woman's resistance to the ongoing Israeli oppression was inspried by the photography of Palestinian photojournalist Hamde Abu Rahma. Most of my portraitures focus on the eyes and the depth of the gaze. If the audience is captured by the portrait immediately, my goal has been achieved. I want the audience to gaze further into her eyes so that they have the time to further explore her expression by solely having the eyes as a window instead of the whole face. Pastels is my favourite drawing material. It gives depth and effects like oil paint without having the tedious task of layering and waiting for the paint to dry. I love the direct feel you can achieve with pastels that you do not have in oil paint. The artwork is framed with clear glass.

WEBSITE: www.zenadabbous.com BIOGRAPHY Zena Dabbous is a Lebanese-Canadian visual artist who has polarized styles in her paintings, drawings, and mural work---from conceptual abstract figures in acrylics and mixed media, to abstract realism portraits in oil paint. Her multi-cultural and eclectic upbringing brings a novel and conceptual perspective to her artwork and the representation of women is very important to her creations. Zena has exhibited, sold work, and has the Artist Recognition icon on SaatchiArt online. She has done mural artwork in well-known establishments in Kuwait like Bloomingdales’ Middle East and Crystal Towers. She has also collaborated in an important mural collaboration project for the US Embassy that is indefinitely exhibited at Kuwait's Museum of Modern Art. Additionally, she featured in local newspapers and had a featured Interview published at 123ART Magazine-online art magazine based in New York. Through a short time of a couple of years, Zena went from a self-taught artist to a professional. As an emerging artist, she is looking forward to more work, exhibitions, and projects in the future. She currently lives in Kuwait and works at an Art Studio/Gallery, as well as offering freelance work. STATEMENT: As a self-taught artist, I believe in the journey of self discovery through art, as well as emphasizing conceptualization. Creativity starts with an idea, and that should be the most important factor. By mixing realism and abstract in portraits, and minimalism and conceptualism in my figurative work, these discrepant styles can be viewed as a projection of my character and experiences. Women represented with limited colour pallets and minimal detail are common themes to my work.
