United Arab Emirates (b.1989)

Maitha Demithan is an Emirati artist based in Dubai. Her work combines several mediums; photography, scanography, painting, drawing and photo transfers. The first drawings she created were sketched in the sand which then formed her appreciation for colour, texture, line and shadow.

She participated in “Across the Gulf”, a group show that took part in the Brisbane Biennial. Other group shows include Emerge in Venice, Emirati Vision in Berlin, and the Biladi exhibition at the UAE Pavilion during the Shanghai Expo 2010.
