My Zone

Once upon a time, I was asked: "what do you like to be in the future?". I said: "I want to paint; I want to study languages; I want to travel; I want to learn more about different cultures and be an ambassador of my own culture." Too many wishes for a 9-year old girl to become true. 

 

I was born and raised in Damascus, Syria, where I have spent unforgettable memories that will always be vivid in my head. I moved to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2012 to expand my horizons both personally and professionally. During my time in the UAE, I have had the privilege to engage with diverse cultures through my work and personal network. I have also had the opportunity to realize one of my dreams by traveling more often, exploring new cultures, and meeting people from all around the world who are equally passionate about unveiling what this mysterious planet has to offer.​

 

All these experiences made me reflect on what human connections mean. Despite all the differences we may have, we share the same beautiful details of life that make us come together and focus on what really matters. In 2020, the time finally came to draw the bigger picture and realize another childhood dream by painting the world through my own eyes and words and sharing stories and experiences about Art, Culture, and Travel.  â€‹

 

Through the Zein Zone, I look forward to connecting with like-minded people and expanding this space to spread a message of cultural understanding, mindfulness, and peace. 

 

Sincerely,

Zeina Kourki ​
