FAVOURITE STORE IN

your style is, it’s easy to shop anywhere from
H&M to Hamdan centre… or even Giftworld.
So long as you are selective, expensive doesn’t
always equal good.”
DOES THE UAE HAVE STYLE?
“Style over here seems to be only influenced
by exactly what’s in the shops. There’s not
much interpretation, although I think that’s
changed in the 14 years I’ve been here. There
are now a lot of people who have style and
who like to mix it up a little.”
FASHION PET HATES: “Crocs, wide
ties, t-shirts (with insane social comments
printed on them), polo shirts, cycle shorts,
women who buy the wrong size jeans,
anything yellow or turquoise. Anything
Versace or Cavalli.”

12. SPLISH
SPLASH
CANVAS MAGIC
By Ajir Shujahi
Many of Lama Younes’s
friends know the 23 year
old Syrian as an English
literature university
student, who is currently
studying business
administration. But
the wild side of Lama is
artistic and explodes
with paintings, doodles
and graffiti…
Tempo: How do you express yourself
artistically?
Through my work. I attempt to feed my
curiosity of ideas, objects forms, philosophy,
facts and fantasy. I try to create a link between
old and new. I use my doodling as a form of
organizing my thoughts. Through mixed
media art I try to link the past, present and
future. I draw on familiar imagery, dreams
and imagination.
Tempo: Where does your inspiration
come from?
Spending time in my head is important. From
when I was 12 I'd tune out my surroundings
and just spend time in my own thoughts. I still
do that. I'm often scribbling down fragments
that later act like trigger-points for artwork.
I'm very fidgety and I seem to work best when
my hands and head are occupied, so I always
doodle. I seek inspiration in anything around
me: books, music, art, people...I especially
relate to Salvador Dali's artwork 'The First
Days of Spring' because of its intensity.
12 | www.tempoplanet.com
13. Tempo: What are the challenges you've faced?
The starving artist is one of the oldest clichés for good reason. But for me, the
image of the tortured artist is a myth – you don't need to be miserable to create
art. Your creativity is like a tap: if you don't use it, it gets clogged up. Even if you
have talent, technical training, time, and tenacity, it's quite possible that you'll
never really earn a living from your work. A visual artist finds success in this
field, as in all the arts, not through artistic talent alone but through the ability
to network and market oneself.
Tempo: Your future plans?
I have many plans that are on the right side of my brain. However, none of them
are practical…yet! (she smiles impishly). Time gives us a glimpse to the future.
In the short run I hope to graduate so I can have more time to explore different
art mediums.
Tempo: Any final thoughts?
I believe that training brings an artist freedom. When you learn the
fundamentals of your craft, you are limited only by your imagination. Without
technical training, you're stabbing in the dark. Sure, you might create one or
two truly great works of art, but they'll be unrepeatable accidents. You can
create anything your mind dreams up only if you know how. Also, persistence
is the most critical factor in any success.
QUICKIES:
Oil or acrylic? Acrylic
