Tell us more about you, Luchina.

“I’ m Luchina Akhmad, a Palestinian freelance illustrator based in Dubai, whose art is a vivid tapestry of stories and cultures. As part of the diaspora in the vibrant city of Dubai, I have found a canvas to express the rich narratives of identity, heritage, and human experience that I encounter. The multicultural environment serves as a dynamic backdrop for my illustrations, integrating the threads of various cultures (…)

(…)Focusing on storytelling through art, I invite viewers on a visual journey that transcends borders. My illustrations reflect a personal exploration of Palestinian traditions, the broader tapestry of global diaspora experiences, and the stories of individuals around me.

As a freelance illustrator, I collaborate both locally and internationally, showcasing the power of visual storytelling to connect and understand.”
