My journey in oil and gas since 2017 and my journey in art it was since when I was seven
00:07
years old and that actually motivated me more to to go to dive deeper in the ocean of art and
00:17
and conduct my exhibition like you know as a young as a young teenager I was like
00:24
very active and I would like to show people my art and my passion in art so I started to mix
00:32
random material in my art and and and that pushed me more to to collect some random stuff
00:43
like recycling and like this so I in the school they told me about the Sheikh Latifa for
00:54
young artists and like the competitions for Sheikh Latifa, Bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
01:02
so I took a step I said okay I will show my art and I will see what will happen so I showed them
01:07
the the recycling painting for a woman that she carry dates and like this which was made from
01:17
the magazine papers so after like one month they already announced about the winners in the in the
01:25
in this competition it was my name was in the second place around UAE and that made my day
01:30
actually and it was like a push for me to keep my rhythm high in the world of art and like
01:40
and share my passion like this so after like the high school and like this I moved to the
01:45
university and from the university basically it was a different story I started as a
01:55
a freshly graduated student from a school who want to focus on oil and gas and be a petroleum
02:02
engineer in the future so here where we where the arts met with the engineering thing in the
02:08
university in the petroleum institute which is now it's called Khalifa University
02:15
so basically I got support from the management and which was under ADNOC
02:21
what which was under ADNOC and they motivated me more to show my art in small exhibitions
02:27
so I conducted small exhibitions on my size you know so I shared my art with the girls and I sold
02:34
my first painting in this exhibition as you see behind me this is one of my favorite logos for
02:40
sure until now because it shows my identity that came from the history of UAE I'm really proud to
02:48
show my our history in UAE and even people who came from all around the world in this exhibition
02:56
in the World Art Dubai which was actually one of the exhibitions that I shine at it you know
03:10
because my art attracted different people that came from different cultures but they see
03:18
themselves in our my paintings even it tells my history so it took them back to their histories
03:24
also my my paintings it's called Bast from Gold it's it tells the golden past the history of
03:32
UAE the history of different cultures but it shows in the interior design which shows the palm
03:39
the palm tree with the the jar and like the curtain like that that that make you up like
03:47
you open it and you you travel and you see the window to the past our golden past basically
03:54
I started in rowing with my sister my sister she's my first supporter in the rowing because
04:01
she actually started before me and which was in Abu Dhabi Sailing Club we were two girls there
04:08
