I just have returned from the Emirates Palace with my head full of the colours of this artist's paintings. My apartment here in Abu Dhabi overlooks the sea and and the sand. It has white walls and all I can think of is having those colours here with me. Abdul Qader Al Rai's paintings make the region come alive, even makes me feel more alive. This is contemporary art at it's best and you can tell it comes from the heart. Thank you. Alison Grand
