Intersections of Art and Environment

This exhibition explores how both artists address the theme of environment, albeit through vastly different lenses. Vanessa Marandi's paintings are lush and expansive, filled with colors that pulse with the life of the Brazilian rainforest. Her works reflect a spontaneity and organic chaos that is intrinsic to nature. Conversely, Zakaria Al-Shammari's works bring a sense of order and history, using the rigid structures of architecture to tell stories of human civilizations.

His canvases serve as a canvas for exploring the complexities of human construction and its permanent impact on the landscape.
