The Art of Love
It is perhaps one of the most difficult questions to answer. There are so many forms, so many levels, and many layers and degrees. Here we reflect over the different forms of love, including the love of a pet, like a lovely white cat, artistically captured in this special collection of art from Barjeel Art Foundation.
