Laila Al Dhaher illustrates war and love on Al Arabiya’s ‘Nawafeth’

Lebanese artist Laila Al Dhaher was born in Tyre and her later achievements took her to a prosperous career in the U.A.E.

She graduated from the School of Fine Arts in Lebanon in 1989 and from interior design in U.S. in 2003. Her numerous achievements granted her memberships in Emirates Fine Arts Society, the International Arts Center and the Arab-swiss Forum.

“The start line should be from the classical school and artists should be engaged in arts for 10 years to get the feelings of colors. Then I embraced the impressionist style of painting,” Al Dhaher said.

Perseverance and consistence are the underlying factors which led al-Daher to go to Private Art as it is called in the United States, and eventually polish her skills in dealing with colors.

“The violet color is always in dominance. Red is synonymous with the concept of war and love,” Al Dhaher said.

Al Dhaher is a versatile artist who employs various art techniques effectively in the course of bringing perfection to her paintings.

“I am inclined sometimes to use color paints to symbolize an idea, and when I don’t feel at ease with the outcome, I shift to acrylic. I am capable of using all techniques in paintings,” Al Dhaher says with pride.

An episode of ‘Nawafeth’ (Arabic for ‘Windows’) series featuring Al Dhaher was run on Al Arabiya News Channel on Sunday. ‘Nawafeth’ features fine artists from the Arab World.

The series is to release 100 episodes that will showcase profiles of the artists working in different art forms.
