"The Immigrant" a painting by Sliman Mansour of Palestine

Sliman Mansour painting The immigrant (المهاجرة), oil on canvas, 2017

"The scene in this painting presents a significant contrast, as though a woman fled her hometown and found herself estranged in a large and Western metropolis city. The painting expresses the tremendous attachment to Palestine that Palestinians in exile hold dear in their hearts, which only grows the longer they reside in the diaspora. This picture might also represent the deep emotional connection Arabs across the world share towards the Palestinian struggle and inherit one generation to the next." Sliman Mansour
