Maisoon Al Saleh "The Bright Side Of Bones "

Maisoon Al Salehs paintings of bones and skulls reveal stories of Emirati life and history.

Throughout the years, the image of a skull was related only to poison and danger, said Maisoon Al Saleh. Through my paintings, I want the community to see the bright side of the bones, the side of educating and spreading the knowledge about death, where people can learn from others experiences and cherish the value of life.
