(Supplied)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>DUBAI, Broadcasting News Corporation : From drawings of empty rooms to presenting human figures, Palestinian artist Rana Samara\u2019s \u201cInner Sanctuary,\u201d which runs until Aug. 28 at Dubai\u2019s Zawyeh Gallery, focuses on the artist\u2019s conception of her own intimate space from an emotional perspective. Jerusalem-born artist Rana Samara\u2019s latest show \u201cportrays an inner sanctuary visually and sentimentally,\u201d critic and journalist Rana Anani writes in the exhibition brochure. Not all the images are comforting though. This painting of a hospital bed, Anani points out, \u201cbears an unsettling feeling.\u201d \u201cThe scattered red tubes on the surface of the colorful floors reflect commotion as if there was an emergency scene,\u201d she writes. \u201cSamara uses colors, motifs, and shapes to convey her sentiments showing her content, calmness, anxiety, or frustration,\u201d Anani explains. It\u2019s surprising just how much emotion Samara packs into these empty rooms. This bedroom, with peacock features in the background, for example, \u201cgives a feeling of lightness, weightlessness, and a connection with the skies.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2018Untitled 43\u2019<br \/>\nThis is one of the rare occasions that Samara\u2019s work includes a human figure \u2014 this contemplative woman. Her usual omission of humans, Anani suggests, \u201ccould be a way to capture moments that people leave behind\u201d or \u201can attempt at emancipation from the restraints imposed by their presence and an opportunity to reveal concealed feelings, whether joyful or gloomy.\u201d News collected from ARAB NEWS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DUBAI, Broadcasting News Corporation : From drawings of empty rooms to presenting human figures, Palestinian artist Rana Samara\u2019s \u201cInner Sanctuary,\u201d which runs until Aug. 28 at Dubai\u2019s Zawyeh Gallery, focuses on the artist\u2019s conception of her own intimate space from an emotional perspective.
