Dina Khataan, an award-winning, Dubai-based, Egyptian artist, one of the leading artists who masters experimental art, using resin and fluid mixes, in the Middle East. She lived the later half of her life in Cape Town, South Africa immersed in natural beauty and diverse cultures; the secret to her inspiration.

Her first participation in an art exhibition was at the age of 9 years, an exhibition named "Motherhood", later in her life, at the age of 17, she used to enjoy painting with charcoal as a hobby; "My eyes used to scan everything in black and white! I refrained from using colours in all my paintings".

She says.

Her grandfather was her childhood 'art mentor'; a fine painter and a sculptor who was heavily influenced by Japanese art. "Watching the process of art creation from an early age heavily influenced my vision of everything in life." Dina says.

Before taking art as a professional route, she was an interior decorator by profession with a diploma from Cape town, South Africa.
