Salma Al Marri: Résonances

The paintings of the Emirati artist “unfold as fragments of a personal and collective mythology,” says the gallery. “Navigating the space between memory and presence, her visual language evokes the resonance of the self as both a persistent echo and a profound reappearance …” Everyday scenes are transformed into chapters of a living historiography, where the painting functions both as a wall of remembrance and a tableau of the world’s stage – “a realm of birth, rebirth, disappearance, and abiding presence”.
