اليمامة السامرائي / العراق – بغداد

Alyamama Al-Samarrai

• Academic Background: Graduated with distinction, specializing in Fine Arts (Painting).

• Artistic Vision and Philosophy: She does not view a canvas merely as a space for color; rather, she sees it as a medium for expressing emotions and ideas, engaging with the human experience, and discovering beauty through a modern, contemporary lens.

• Artistic Style: She places a strong emphasis on form, composition, and aesthetics. Her work reflects an affinity for the “Baghdad Cubist” school—a style in which she has cultivated a distinct signature that sets her work apart.

• Key Exhibitions and Engagements:

• Participated in prominent local art exhibitions in Baghdad, including the “Splendor of Civilization” (*Alaq al-Hadara*) exhibition held at the Al-Wasiti Gallery.

• Took part in cultural seminars and events, such as those hosted by the Iraqi House of Fashion, which explore the representation of fashion within contemporary Iraqi painting.

• Notable Works: Includes pieces such as “The Seamstress” (80 × 100 cm) and “Flamenco”—the latter of which she considers a significant turning point in her artistic journey.
