Hult International Business School hosts exhibition

Yalda, mainly a self taught artist, originally from Iran, brought up and raised in New York has always had her own creation of art. She fits well into the metropolis of Dubai and her colors are used extremely intense with expressive lines that stream on her paintings like rhythmic poetry in a mixture of calligraphy and modern writing.

"Your daily routines of life appear greatly more beautiful when viewed artistically; I visualize the surroundings with details, colors and senses which are eventually implemented in my works" said Yalda.

Yalda's work is driven by the need to be inventive, but also aesthetically pleasing and at the same time not very much caught up in function. Her works are characterized in three different techniques and styles. The first is the traditional modern with calligraphy and poetry, the second is modern abstract decorative art which she uses for the interior decorating and design that she does and the third is the folk illustrative art which brings out the more humorous fun side of the paintings.

"Throughout all my years of painting, no matter which style I choose for any particular art work, I use the same dynamic of paint layering on the paintings, leading to techniques by piling on layers of paint then scraping off the layers to develop the illusion of that explicit piece and the work's characterization"

concluded Yalda.

Her lines of works include a diverse range of art works, consisting of paintings, interior design and decorating, children's story books, murals and wall paintings. Yalda has done paintings and interior décors for many villas, hotels, offices and exclusive VIP's within the region, as well as internationally.

With a Bachelor degree in Computer Graphics/ Animation and a Masters degree in International Business, Yalda has been creating and at the same time marketing her work in many different countries and has been involved in various events and exhibitions internationally.

"Creativity and business success go hand in hand and as part of an international business school our campus is a wonderful backdrop to Yalda's art. Inspiration for many people comes form art and we would like to support young people in their endevours," said Professor Nick van der Walt, Dean at Hult International Business School.

Yalda's exhibition will be on display at the Hult Campus in Dubai Academic City. The exhibition which is hosted by Hult International Business School in collaboration with Dubai International Academic City will add an interesting touch to the campus.
