Among the standout artists were Paula Querido, known for her dreamlike landscapes that blend physical reality with imagination, and Samira Abbassy, who explores the self through her oneiric paintings merging European and Iranian traditions. The event offered a platform for both established and emerging artists, enriching the art dialogue in the region.
Paula Querido delivers a singular take on landscape painting that merges reality with imagination, using bold colors to ignite nostalgia and narrative intrigue.
