Art for me is the colors of life and a bridge between multiple cultures, races and ethnicities  to understand the nature and life of others. Through humanitarian stories, I try to navigate with details of life to add flavor to my artwork by using colors that give its specificity and depth to the idea. In my artwork, I don’t depict concerns, losses, sadness and wars only, but rather the sense of beauty in multiple aspects of life such as love, motherhood, hope and waiting. It is an attempt to displace the dust of wars and the smell of gun shots by clear vision and clean air.   
"Maysoon Al Gburi "

The artwork of Iraqi artist Maysoon Al Gburi is a window open onto her deepest thoughts and longings. She uses color and imagination as vehicles for sending potent messages. Her art weaves the beauty and richness of Mesopotamian history with today's harsh reality of human existence.
