Rehab Zakri: A Rising Star in the Art World

JEDDAH: Saudi artist Rehab Zakri is making waves in the art world with her captivating impressionist works that delve deep into the rich culture and identity of southern Saudi Arabia.

At just 24 years old, Zakri has already established herself as a talented artist with a passion for her heritage. Her vibrant paintings reflect the diverse natural landscapes of her daily life in the city of Jazan, where she finds inspiration in the beauty of her surroundings.

Zakri’s artistic journey began in childhood when a teacher encouraged her to participate in a drawing competition. Her talent was evident as she clinched top honors in the Jazan region and placed fourth nationally. This early recognition fueled her determination to pursue her artistic dreams further.

Choosing to follow the impressionist school of art, Zakri values freedom of expression through color over precision and perfection. Her paintings are rich in emotion and color, allowing her to convey her feelings and thoughts in a visually captivating manner.

One of Zakri’s most notable works, titled “Generosity,” pays homage to Saudi culture and showcases the elegance of the Najdi majlis, symbolizing the warm hospitality ingrained in Saudi society. Another painting, “Coffee Farms,” captures the essence of the famed coffee plantations nestled in the Bani Malik mountains of Jazan.

Zakri’s artwork has garnered widespread acclaim, with each piece representing a cherished moment in time. Her painting of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which embodies Saudi pride and ambition, was acquired by the deputy governor of the Jazan region.

In addition to her impressive body of work, Zakri has created a space at home where art comes to life, hosting art gatherings and workshops to share the beauty and identity of Jazan with visitors.

As she continues to explore new opportunities in the art world, Zakri remains committed to her craft and encourages aspiring artists to work hard, stay committed, and stay open to new experiences. Her platform on Instagram allows her to showcase her art and engage with the community, further solidifying her place as a rising star in the art world.
