My favorite gallery in Dubai

Very cozy place with amazing artworks

A very unique art collection Very detailed art pieces

The artwork has underlined themes and hidden messages provoking the need for a harmonious coexistence with nature and evokes a certain melancholy towards the fusion of the past, present and futurism of pop culture, femininity and the African essence using different raw materials to express this from sequins, rebar, bronze and even Swarovski crystals. I absolutely love it :)
