There is only one version of each product.
Shalimar confirmed that the experience of painting on natural leather is a great challenge and completely different from painting on a canvas, where leather is a continuous challenge for a brush concerning colors and the precision of the drawing. She added: “When I first started painting on cars I thought it was challenging, but with the experience of painting on leather I discovered that handling a brush on natural leather surpasses handling it on a car concerning precision, focus, and control and it requires craftsmanship and great skill from the artist.
From her end, Saudi businesswoman and styling consultant, the founder of “My Choices” and Owner of Artyles Wafa Aldekhail expressed her happiness to host the first “Moving Art” gallery in The Gulf.
