I am pleased to announce that my artwork “Respect” is currently being exhibited at World Art Dubai 2025, one of the leading international contemporary art fairs in the Middle East. The piece is on view at the Fondazione Effetto Arte booths (DB06, E06, E01, DB01) located in Za’abeel Hall 2 of the Dubai World Trade Centre.

This powerful portrait is part of my ongoing series highlighting female resilience and the human capacity to overcome trauma. Based on real testimonies, Respect tells the story of Lourdes, a woman who survived over three decades of psychological abuse in a seemingly “perfect” marriage, and Rosa, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse who transformed her trauma into strength, becoming a psychologist to help others heal.

By bringing these deeply personal yet universal stories to an international platform like World Art Dubai, I seek to raise awareness about the global issue of gender-based violence. Exhibiting this piece in an Arab country is particularly significant, as it opens a cross-cultural dialogue around the condition of women, the fight for dignity, and the universal need for respect.

“Respect is not just a title — it is a fundamental human right. Through these women’s stories, I want to amplify the voices of so many who continue to fight for visibility, safety, and recognition. Sharing this message in Dubai is a chance to bring their strength to new audiences and foster deeper understanding across cultures.”
