It is not every day that you will come across a doctor turned philanthropist and then an artist who uses her creativity for a cause dear to her heart.
Dr Sana Sajan, a doctor turned Islamic calligraphy artist, recently hosted a painting exhibition, Art Lover International Festival (Alif), to raise awareness and support Thalassemia patients.
The week-long exhibition was inaugurated at AnYahh art gallery in Umm Suqeim by Sheikha Hind bint Faisal Al Qassimi and Adel Sajan, director of Danube Group.
Talking about the idea behind the exhibition, Dr Sana said her aim in life has always been to stay positive, inspire people and touch as many lives positively as she can. She picked her subject, Thalassaemia, after she visited the Thalassaemia centre at Latifa Hospital. "I made up my mind to do something for the patients - children and adults - who are suffering for no fault of theirs. The only reason they contracted the disease was lack of awareness. Once you get this disease, you have to suffer all your life."
Realising that her art could be used to support these patients as well as spread awareness about it, Dr Sana decided to start an art exhibition. "To educate the public and create awareness about this issue, I am giving away gift boxes at my exhibition. These boxes have a booklet of my paintings, a scarf along with a detailed pamphlet related to Thalassemia. This is my way of inspiring the society and helping people in need by giving them all the proceeds of my exhibition," Dr Sana told Khaleej Times.
Members from the Thalassaemia Centre of Latifa Hospital, Community Development Authority, Crème de la Crème and the private office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum attended the exhibition to show solidarity with the event.
Her collection of 25 paintings is a blend of bold and beautiful shades with an oeuvre of modern contemporary and Islamic calligraphy.
