Therefore, the face is the center of human life, and the center of his emotions and desires and temperament and behavior.
For her part, Indian Artist Surabhi Gaikwad said about the faces in her paintings, that some of them are realistic, while some of the other faces are imaginary, noting that while she was living in Qatar, she was influenced by the culture and heritage of the country, which has influenced her fashion business, or the falcon drawing, which is a heritage icon in the country.
