Yemen: Art and Talent

I wrote this post to share with you the beauty of some of the Yemeni artwork from our private collection:

To see the work of these two talented artists visit  Bab Al-Yemen Gallery situated in the historical main gate of the old city of Sana'a and the Atelier Gallery in the same area, which also exhibits works of many other artists.
