Fahima Fattah is an artist whose vibrant and colorful paintings bring her artistic expression to life. She has a deep belief in the inherent beauty of women, and her artwork often portrays them as majestic as palm trees, symbolizing their glory and strength. Her inspiration is drawn from her surroundings, particularly tribal women, villagers, and the serene presence of palm trees. From a young age, Fahima displayed exceptional talent in painting, which was recognized and encouraged by her school teachers and family members. This early recognition motivated her to further develop her skills. She pursued her passion diligently by attending numerous art courses and workshops, combining self-taught expertise with formal art education. Since 2005, Fahima’s artwork has been showcased in prestigious galleries across Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada. Her captivating paintings have even found a place of distinction in international hotels like the renowned St. Regis Abu Dhabi. Her talent and artistic creations have been acknowledged and celebrated by the Dubai Media, which has covered her works on multiple occasions.
