It happened as it would go beyond yesterday, Wednesday, when 35 healthcare professionals and their up-and-coming colleagues, gamely strutted on the catwalk with the powerful messages against the mutating stubborn virus that had so far claimed 4,194,385 with 177,735,719 recoveries – globally – as of press time.

Abstract artworks from India painted with kitchen spices, portraits of Ecuadorian mythical figures best seen through augmented reality and impressionist paintings made by a robotic arm from Russia are only
some of the highlights at this year’s World Art Dubai.
The sprawling fair, taking place at Dubai s World Trade Centre until Saturday, brings together 250 galleries and artists from around the globe, many of whom you re likely to have never heard of – and that’s exactly the point.
Coming fresh off the heels of Art Dubai, the fair is less interested in showcasing the works of established artists than it is with giving emerging names a chance to share their art.
