Draw Each Other in a Live Art Experience

A live workshop offering a unique visual and human experience, where each participant paints an oil portrait of the person sitting opposite them—while being painted at the same time. This shared process becomes a mutual artistic dialogue, inspired by features, emotions, and presence through a free, expressive approach.

The workshop focuses on feeling and expression rather than perfection, creating space for reflection, closeness, and noticing subtle human details we often overlook.

A special element of the experience involves keeping the artworks hidden from one another until Eid night, turning the reveal into a moment of surprise and warmth. The paintings then become deeply personal Eid gifts—artworks that carry meaning and memory over time.
