Dr.Afaf Al_Raeai

Born and Raised in Iraq, Baghdad Current Residency: Lebanon, Sidon I am a visual artist who discovered her passion for illustrations and colors later in life. After cleaning up my sons messes with paint, i saw how different shades can mix together to create new outstanting colors. I felt as if I was Alice enterring wonderland for the first, in awe of the beauty around her. Currently, I work on various types of media, such as watercolor, acrylic, ink, and color pencils, that are usually used on top of canvases or 100 percent cotton paper. One of my biggest passions in art is experimenting with new kinds of material, and looking at how i can manipulate them to create paintings of my own, such as using 24 karat gold, fire, or even food! Academic Achievements: Graduated from Baghdad University with a PHD in Image Processing Obtained a diploma for Painting Techniques in the Lebanese American University of Beirut I have participated in many local and international art festivals, my most recent one being my participation in the art symposium titled Global Canvas Festival in Dubai
