Sun of Qatar

The Sun of Qatar
Anna Yudakova
22 April 2023 – 22 May 2023

In her new project, created between 2022 and 2023 in Qatar, Anna Yudakova addresses the theme of the sun in the same way our ancestors did hundreds and thousands of years ago. The series consists of twelve works, six focused on the sun in Doha, and six that are about the sun at Heenat Salma Farm. Since 2016, Anna has been working in her own style of drawing, based on vertical strokes with coloured pencils on paper, a technique she describes by comparing it to embroidered satin stitching.  With pencil, she is able to reproduce on paper the basics and philosophy of the craft of traditional embroidery, depicting still lives, landscapes, and symbols, but going beyond this narrative by trying to catch the movement of the light.
