  • Rajaa Sertin : Lebanese artist, she paints series of large-scale landscapes. Her abstract works also reflect her personal evolution over time.
  • Oussama Elolemy: Egyptian photographer, this artist returns to the World Art Dubai with a series of portraits on African and Middle Eastern culture.
  • Atika Kayed : Emirati artist, she paints landscapes and portraits with oil and acrylic. Passionate about Arabic calligraphy, she integrates it in her art, whatever the medium she uses.
  • Younès Lassouli: the Moroccan painter will present his installation, "Moroccan Legends", consisting of seven paintings of various well-known Moroccan personalities.
  • Ibrahim El-Dessouki: born in Cairo to painter parents, he tells the story of everyday Egyptian life in his paintings. His paintings are recognisable by their plain background and their graceful silhouettes.
