Maria Al Zoubi
Contemporary Art
As a mother of two, my artistry is not just a passion but a legacy I strive to impart to my children—a legacy of embracing diversity, celebrating heritage, and spreading joy through creativity. It was during my time in Australia, where I honed my skills and immersed myself in the vibrant art scene, that I discovered the profound impact art can have on individuals and communities.
My artistic journey has taken me from the canvas to digital realms and textile creations, each medium offering a unique canvas to express my vision. My style is contemporary yet versatile, reflecting the fusion of cultures and influences that shape my identity. Through acrylic paintings awash with vibrant hues, digital artworks pulsating with energy, and textile creations that evoke a sense of warmth and comfort, I seek to evoke emotions of joy, serenity, and connection.
As a staunch advocate for the Palestinian cause, my art serves as a platform to amplify voices and shed light on the struggles and resilience of my people. Each brushstroke, each digital rendering, each stitch in my textile art is infused with the spirit of hope and solidarity, a tribute to the indomitable human spirit.
Now, in the bustling metropolis of Dubai, I embark on a new chapter of my artistic odyssey—one that seeks to reconnect with my Middle Eastern roots and weave the threads of heritage into my creations. Inspired by the vibrant culture, rich history, and breathtaking landscapes of the region, I endeavor to capture the essence of the Middle East in all its splendor and diversity.
To my collectors scattered across the globe, I offer not just artworks, but windows into worlds—a glimpse of distant lands, a touch of cultural heritage, and a reservoir of joy and serenity. With each piece, I invite them to embark on a journey of discovery, to find solace in the beauty of art, and to forge connections that transcend boundaries.
Join me on this voyage of artistic exploration, where the colors of heritage blend seamlessly with the brushstrokes of creativity, and where art becomes a beacon of hope, unity, and inspiration for generations to come.
