Alreem Al Hameedi

Alreem, is a London and Abu Dhabi-based visual artist whose practice circles around a delicate interplay of simplicity, nostalgia, and contemplation. It's in the overlooked daily moments that she finds inspiration, where the mundane becomes a canvas for introspection. Rooted in Emirati culture and traditional artistic practices, she strives to reimagine the portrayal of cultural identity especially within the context of reclaiming her regions narrative which is often misrepresented and summed up into a digestible stereotype. She has an extensive background in still life painting and is currently exploring a new interest in surrealism and orientalism in relation to her previous approach to expressing cultural identity.
