Dubai, UAE – Leila Heller Gallery is pleased to announce artist Azza Al Qubaisi’s solo show opening on 19th September 2022.
Azza Al Qubaisi is an artist, designer and entrepreneur who is popularly known as the UAE’s first Emirati jewellery designer. All her works reveal her prolific creativity, including, jewellery and sculptures made from gold, silver, wood, rubber tyres, palm trees and oudh incense.
As a fierce advocate of all that is home grown and sustainable, Al Qubaisi has been dedicated to a sustainable future for her country. She is seen to use simple materials that were an essential part of Emirati families' lives in the pre-oil period. The natural landscape and cultural references coalesce in her pieces, from the shapes, patterns and textures of the desert to the revival of traditional ancient techniques which can all be easily observed in her works.
The works of Al Qubaisi are a reflection of her journey as an artist, as she explores her Emirati heritage.
