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. For more information about the artists, to contact them, or get the background on a specific piece, email us at info@artyemen.com (Click on any artist's name to view his/her paintings. All paintings measurements are in cm.)
