She explains how despite a wide variety of contemporary artistic practices in the region, artists from the Middle East are consistently labelled with ethnic and national markers. She explains the characteristics of Middle Eastern art, An emphasis on artistic technique and skill over originality. The use of realistic yet symbolic animals.
