The life around us
‘Watermelon Sellers’ by Hafidh Al Droubi. 1969. Oil on canvas, 61 x 41 cm. Image courtesy of Barjeel Art Foundation, Sharjah.
That bus ride, that pause along a bridge, that walk along a street with a parent, a loved one, or even alone. The sounds, the smells, the things we bought and looked at, the people we met, the crowds we bumped into, the voices we heard of the sellers and the noise of the traffic nearby. In this special collection of art from Barjeel Art Foundation, we get to enjoy the many moments of the world just outside our door.
