Charlie Chaplin's portrait was done in oil paint in the early years of my career as a professional artist. My father had recently passed away and I decided to dedicate several paintings in his name and Charlie became the first one. My father shaped my childhood and he introduced me to Charlie's films when I was a child. Even as an adult we would watch his movies and marvel at Chaplin's comedic genius. I specifically used oil paint to capture the intense comic and sad expression that Charlie was famous for. No other medium would have done it justice. I also used my favourite colour pallet of yellow ochre and blue and kept it to minimal colours so that you do not lose the intensity of the portrait. Charlie has become on of my all time favourite portraits I have ever done and it has great personal value to me as it reminds me of my late father's also comic genius who made everybody laugh around him.

WEBSITE: www.zenadabbous.com BIOGRAPHY Zena Dabbous is a Lebanese-Canadian visual artist who has polarized styles in her paintings, drawings, and mural work---from conceptual abstract figures in acrylics and mixed media, to abstract realism portraits in oil paint. Her multi-cultural and eclectic upbringing brings a novel and conceptual perspective to her artwork and the representation of women is very important to her creations. Zena has exhibited, sold work, and has the Artist Recognition icon on SaatchiArt online. She has done mural artwork in well-known establishments in Kuwait like Bloomingdales’ Middle East and Crystal Towers. She has also collaborated in an important mural collaboration project for the US Embassy that is indefinitely exhibited at Kuwait's Museum of Modern Art. Additionally, she featured in local newspapers and had a featured Interview published at 123ART Magazine-online art magazine based in New York. Through a short time of a couple of years, Zena went from a self-taught artist to a professional. As an emerging artist, she is looking forward to more work, exhibitions, and projects in the future. She currently lives in Kuwait and works at an Art Studio/Gallery, as well as offering freelance work. STATEMENT: As a self-taught artist, I believe in the journey of self discovery through art, as well as emphasizing conceptualization. Creativity starts with an idea, and that should be the most important factor. By mixing realism and abstract in portraits, and minimalism and conceptualism in my figurative work, these discrepant styles can be viewed as a projection of my character and experiences. Women represented with limited colour pallets and minimal detail are common themes to my work.
