The Gallery hosts art show by Zainab Al-Ani in Baghdad

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – On July 19th, The Gallery hosted a unique exhibition for the talented Iraqi artist Zainab Al-Ani titled “Art Saves Life.” This exhibition was held to support the young artist in her battle against her disease, showcasing her incredible talent and resilience.

Zainab Al-Ani is a 22-year-old talented Iraqi artist who has been suffering from nervous tension disease for many years. For her, drawing became the only way to cope with her pain, ultimately transforming her into a fine artist. “Drawing was the only way to express all I am feeling,” Zainab shares, “I draw what is inside me whether I am happy or depressed.”

Zainab chose to draw with needle and thread, finding it both unique and unusual. “No one taught me this art. I tried to excel in it on my own, and thank God I was very satisfied with the results. I proved to the whole world that I am capable,” says Zainab Al-Ani.

Zainab has participated in numerous exhibitions, including those organized by the Iraqi Ministry of Culture and the Bayt Al-Shabab exhibition alongside other Iraqi artists. Her growing recognition and talent eventually allowed her to conduct her own solo exhibitions.

This time, Zainab held her exhibition in The Gallery, an exclusive space for Iraqi professional artists. The event drew people from all corners of the city, eager to witness her remarkable work and show their support for her courageous journey. The exhibition became a gathering place for art lovers, friends, and well-wishers, all united in their admiration for Zainab’s resilience and talent. Visitors were moved by her intricate needle and thread artwork, each piece reflecting her personal struggles and triumphs.

The overwhelming turnout and heartfelt support highlighted the profound impact of Zainab’s art on the community, reinforcing the healing power of creativity and the strength found in unity. Through her art, Zainab continues to inspire others, proving that even in the face of adversity, one can find beauty and hope.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul and paints his own nature into his pictures.
