We were able to meet a well known artist who travelled to Abu Dhabi to share his work with us.
This was indeed a rare and great experience for all of us to be involved with.
Taking advantage of this great opportunity was a must, because workshops with well known artists such as Khaldoun are hard to come by where we live.
The work was very abstract in a way and at a first glance it is not so easy to understand. However once Khaldoun had personally explained to us that his paintings reflected the area that he lives in.
He lives in an area of the Middle East that has a rich religious history, being the birthplace of Islam, Christianity and Judaism. His paintings mirror the people and the land that he is surrounded by.
I think this artist was an influential person to have been able to meet and work with because he got me to think of art in a more expressive, free way.
