Challenge #57: Disability Diversity (Fatemeh)

Content Notes: This is my second piece created for Challenge #57 - Disability Diversity. It's a watercolour portrait of sorts, directly inspired by Iranian artist Fatemeh Hammami Nasrabadi.

fatemehamami creates wonderful coloured pencil artworks, using her foot as her body is 85% paralysed. Her art skills are pretty cool, and you can see some of her art process through her videos on Instagram. I think my favourite piece is the polar bears at #1 in this article.

I tried to capture a bit of the bright spirit and passion that shines through her eyes and can be felt in her artworks. ^__^

Process Pic, etc.
And here's the initial pencil sketch before I added the watercolour to it:


Also, after I photographed the finished piece, I inverted the colours in Photoshop to see how it would look, and it's not too bad, actually! The effect somewhat reminds me of the elements fire and water. :)

She's amazing, and I love the bright colours in your artwork!

I'm so glad I came across her! And glad you like the colours. I haven't painted with real watercolours in a while, so it was nice to get back into working with them. ^__^

WOW!!! Thank you for sharing this! She should be an inspiration for us all!!!

And agreed, the bright colors demand attention, and the fact that you chose to use her foot to create an eye definitely exclaims that there is a much deeper story behind the artwork. I'm sure she'd be touched by your creation! <3
