On Friday 10th of January, Sheri Aletaha and Samarah Al Ahmar inaugurated their painting exhibition at the La Cala Cultural Centre, an exhibition in which the artists show through their paintings everything they have learnt in the UP classes under the guidance of Mirjana Lucic. 

These classmates and friends work mainly in painting, using acrylic and in some cases mixed techniques. With their paintings, they turn a visit to this room into a sensory and emotional journey in which visitors are immersed in the world of feelings. According to Sheri, "painting, although I also make sculptures, in shorts, being creative, is the most important thing for me because I can connect and talk through colours and shapes. I love to let colours meet, come together and mix. My source of inspiration is nature". Samarah said, "I started painting almost six years ago, when my husband died. The first thing I wanted to do, I don't know why, because I had never painted, was to start painting".

Originally from Iraq and Iran, but residents in Mijas for some years, the Culture Department of the Mijas Town Hall has given these two women the opportunity to show their emotions through art in an exhibition. "I think that, in this way, the circle of training, involvement and, above all, participation of foreign residents in the cultural sphere of the municipality is closed", said the councillor for Culture, Juan Carlos Maldonado (PMP).

The exhibition can be visited until the 3rd of February.
