Rima Al-Juburi was born in Austria and grew up between
Baghdad and Europe. She initially studied architecture, but
soon turned to painting and design of ceramics and porcelain.
Her work has been shown all over the world; from Vienna to
Amman; Baghdad, San Francisco and Abu Dhabi.
Rima finds inspiration in a variety of Arabic symbols, in particular
the Iraqi date palm to which she likens the Iraqi woman:
“roots deep in the earth, head held high with pride towards the
sun; uneasy to defeat or bend over time”.
Rima created the stunning turquoise and gold hued illustrationsfor “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”. |
