Reem El Roubi and her husband Amir Daoud Abdellatif have created an art collection that bridges their Sudanese heritage and their current life in Dubai. Starting from a focus on African art, they have expanded to include works from various regions, featuring renowned artists like William Kentridge and Ibrahim El-Salahi. As active patrons and committee members in major art institutions, they believe exhibitions like 'Kings of Queens of Africa' can attract international collectors to the UAE, while they continue to support emerging artists alongside established ones.
Sudan is the crossroad between Africa and the Middle East, says Reem El Roubi of her home country. This dual identity shapes their art collection.
The couple's collection reflects their cultural heritage while encompassing modern works from the Middle East and beyond, showcasing both Sudanese and international artists.
El Roubi, involved in prestigious art institutions, emphasizes the importance of exhibitions in attracting global collectors to the region.
Supporting emerging artists is crucial; recent acquisitions include notable works from both established and new talents, highlighting a commitment to diverse artistic expression.
