CROSSFIREARABIA – Palestinian artist Rowan Al Anani’s oranges of Jafa which she drew in 2026 could really be about the whole concept of Palestinian society in all of its dynamic forms, rich in traditions, homes, buildings, women, mosques and churches all in bright, delightful color as if to say this is our, indigenous, homegrown society with its mosaics and cultures, hinting at the ‘imported’ Israeli form that has no connection or bearing to the land.

This is a painting on the Art of Depression from abstract painter Said Elatab. He says:
This painting exists within the nihilism abstract. My depression is eating my brain; any hope to reverse it is to make art serve as the best medication for mental illness. So why not be an artist. He adds: “From depression and nihilism I make beautiful art for it is my language in a world that has no answers.”
