Artist Statement/About

Hessa Mohammed Abdulkareem is a daughter of Mohammed Abdulkareem Mohammed (Father) and Thuraya Abdulwahid Abdullahrahman (mother). She is a twelve-year-old Emirati girl. She is in grade VIIth , studying at Alshoruoq Private School, Dubai U.A.E. Her interest in art can be seen in very early years of her beginning through scribbles and doodling to express her love for things and people she cared about. Her love for Sheikhs motivated to express herself through creating digital portraits of them and continues to express her emotions developing her skills towards creating digital artworks. She was recently introduced to digital technique, and she has been creating digital artworks since four or five months. Her Portraits reflect her confidence and her ability to capture the emotions of the person she draws. The portraits are in realism style but unique enough to define in shapes with simplicity and powerful impact. Her digital portraits express the spirit of emirates culture through traditional outfits, expressions and composition in the contemporary world, which looks friendly yet authoritative and natural.

Artist Statement

I create digital portraits of the people I love and care about and want people to know and experience the importance of the people who surrounds you. I created portraits to express a sense of feeling proud to know and show the world how far my country has made it. The interest is the artworld sparked with my visit to the exhibition with my uncle and one of the paintings of His Highness Late Sheikh Zayed (may his soul rest in peace) caught my attention and that moment inspired me to express my love for the Sheikhs and the people who mean a lot to me.
