Dana Awartani is a Saudi Arabian artist with Palestinian roots, who lives and works in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. She is specialized in ceramics and painting, but her practice moves on the entire front of traditional Islamic art, including mosaics, parquetry and arabesque. A large part of her work on paper represents arabesques with strong natural elements, mostly floral, accompanied by calligraphic or geometric motifs. (G.M., May 3, 2013).
