The Exhibit:

Sarhan's water-color and acrylic paintings feature landscapes and human figures rendered in various artistic forms.

The coalescing challenge, the synergy she has set for herself, demand these subtle metissages, these eclectic collages that reflect delicate emotions. They will make us cross freely and quite naturally any geographical, chronological or aesthetic frontiers.

We thank Mr. Khaled Jum'an; director of Miracle Graphics Co. in Bahrain, which designed the book, for making this exhibit possible.
