Ethnic Influences

I’ve mentioned in previous posts how hard I find it to find art I like but which goes with the colour schemes I’ve chosen. In this case I had committed to deep pink because of a rather large chandelier which I had bought in the sale in The One at the Outlet Mall. I loved it and the hallway was the only place I could hang it.

So off I go to try and find the perfect piece of art that would go not only with the colour scheme but with the pseudo Chinese theme derived from an old cabinet I revived with black paint.

This is when I came across one of those Dubai souvenir shops crammed with gold camels and pashminas. Often you’ll find traditional Arabic dresses and this one is a child size. Of course I could have gone for a Dragon Mart Chinese dress for the same effect but I Love this and again its made a feature wall interesting for not much cost.
