Welcome, Until the late 60's Yemen was under strict rule from the Imam and creating art was totally forbidden. Even when Yemen became a democracy it has been difficult to establish painting as an art form in Yemen . The Artists featured here have been working in isolation creating amazing works with only a few people to appreciate it. You can help these artists to establish themselves as professionals by buying their art and encouraging others to do so.
