Dubai, a place where art and innovation intertwine, is one of the main hubs around the globe where very talented and artistic minds showcase the best the world has to offer in terms of innovation and creativity. Various amazing artists from around the globe are based in the UAE, contributing to the overall local artistic scene.
Among those visionary and creative individuals is an artist named Sally Shemy who has captivated the world with her unique resin art creations. Serene Art by Sally is the name of her studio and it is a physical manifestation of a sanctuary of creativity, artistry and serenity where candles are transformed into captivating works of art. This is the domain of Sally, a visionary artist and entrepreneur who has breathed life into the world of fragrance and design.
Originally from Egypt, Sally is a professional pharmacist based in Dubai, who works in the medical field and attending surgeries. Seeing the boring looks of hospitals and operation theaters for hours was the main inspiration and catapult she needed to follow a path as an artist. She really wanted to do something to refine the environment surrounding her and to give that magical touch in her working place, so she decided to embark on an artistic exploration journey, seeking a medium that would allow her to express her creativity.
Sally decided to enroll in a workshop to learn resin artwork. Captivated by the process, she immersed herself in the intricacies of resin art, mastering techniques and experimenting with color combinations to create unique and captivating pieces. After completing the workshop, armed with her newfound skills and a newfound passion, Sally embarked on a creative journey, transforming her resin art into a therapeutic outlet and a source of inspiration for others.
Each one of the pieces Sally makes is unique, being a testament to her artistry and passion for resin art as she puts her soul in each piece, creating experiences that resonate very deeply with every single customer of Serene Art by Sally.
The pieces Sally creates at Serene Art by Sally range from candles (made of coconut or soy wax), tables, to clocks and frames containing a perfume, a fragrance inspired by the client’s perfume to make the experience more refined.
Sally’s creative process is very straightforward. After coming up with a new design for a new piece, she does the sketching and then she moves to the mock stage to validate the design.
She values a lot the importance of the environment she uses to work on new pieces, being precisely set up to support her during the creation of the pieces.
Now with a very vast clientele, Sally had the chance to make pieces for people from various cultural backgrounds, from regular people to the UAE royal family.
The story of Sally is the perfect example of how we can find new opportunities in the least expected places and when grabbing them, success will be waiting on the other side of the door. From a pharmacist to an artist, Sally is a perfect example of what happens when we follow our dreams and work hard to make our ambitions come true.
