Artist Statment
Fatima Al Romaithi is an emerging artist based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Al Romaithi has been investigating themes of vulnerability, authenticity, and shame, based on Dr. Brené Brown’s research. For two years, she has worked mainly with portraiture using various mediums including, but not limited to, graphite, charcoal, and mixed media. Recently, her practice shifted towards exploring how emotion is reflected on the body, particularly through the hands. Al Romaithi believes that the effort we put to appear polished – to avoid feeling shame or being shamed for being vulnerable – is simply denied by our body language, as it urges the viewer to see the truth.
