A Baghdad Artist

Beauty is more than skin deep as this blog shows. Baghdad Artist blogs his/her art. And beauty is not only in the eye but in the thoughts as you can see from this quote:

Women are constantly challenged in this new Iraq. Awaiting their moment of peace, struggling to raise children while nurturing a family, maintaining a pulse within a war torn country, all of this and more strains the essence of feminity, quells the aspirations for civil rights and leaves hope suspended. And in this land, life continues against the greatest of odds. Simply, these paintings delicately touch the image of women within a frontier of unknown limits and unknown ends.
