Sanaa Merchant, a visual artist known for traditional Arabian themes with a modern perspective is currently exhibiting her artwork at Z Gallery in Four Points by Sheraton. The artist’s work ranges from ornamental works to modernism in abstract and calligraphic forms with the use of vibrant bold colors and dimensional forms giving it a thought-provoking essence; an attribute that makes it fitting for the contemporary gallery. Merchant also captures an extra touch of detail by using intense pen and ink compositions.
