Musab Abdul Qader Al Rais
Emirati artist Musab Abdul Qader Al Rais has been experminting with art since his childhood, inheriting his talent from his father, renowned artist Abul Qader Al Rais. The 30-year-old engineering graduate's work is fashionably striking with the use of bold colours and tints to express the depth of space and forms in his watercolours.
The manner in which Musab's style has evolved - have taken his works on a new artistic high and demonstrate that technique is pivotal and not merely a secondary creative tool. The technique of painting the multi-colored layers are reminiscent of the treatment of drapery in Renaissance paintings, where the meaning that lies beyond the obvious.
The contemporary artist also uses acrylic as a medium to propel his work from a lifeless canvas into a work of art that paints a story of the country's cultural lineage and makes an unmistakable mark of Musab's Emirati identity.

Fatma Lootah
Leaving her country in 1979 "to see something else", Fatma Lootah goes and studies Art in Washington and is trained for three years to drawing, portrait and above all, painting, her favourite way of expression. Fatma Lootah needs to discover the mass, which is what makes the richness of her art.
After her American stay, she flies to Italy where the city of Verona welcomes her with open arms: "Verona is extraordinary, its artistic potential is phenomenal". That is so true that she still lives and paints there. Her workshop is her secret hideout.
She always paints alone, in an artistic and bodily frenzy: "I love applying the colour with my hand or my foot and feel my creation with my whole being".
The canvas lays on the floor for Fatma Lootah never paints vertically. She paints fast for her paintings are emotions, feelings, impulsiveness. She does not fear colours and mixes them in unthinkable harmonies, contrasting hot and cold, red, yellow, blue, purple.
The artist does not impose her painting, she lets the amateur appreciate and interprete, yet precising it is her "inner fire" she lays on the canvas, for the public's joy seeing furtive figures, underwater landscapes or lagoons at sunset, desert visions and mirages of the Orient.
