TARTOUS, Aug.2, (ST)-On the occasion of the 77th anniversary of the foundation of the Syrian army, the old Tartous Gallery hosted a solo exhibition by the young painter Elissar Jaafar, during which she presented artistic and panoramic paintings to a number of our heroic martyrs and our brave wounded.
The 14-year-old painter told the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) that she seeks, through her second solo exhibition, to convey a message to the defender of the homeland on the occasion of their Day, in appreciation of their heroism and sacrifices through a panorama and paintings that express the beauty of the epics of the martyrs and wounded who have priority in everything, even in art, because their names will remain inscribed in the records of glory and their heroism will remain in the hearts of lovers.
A number of visitors expressed their admiration for the exhibition and Elissar’s use of the pencil to draw very accurate and perfect paintings and to shed light on the faces of the martyrs and wounded of the war as a personal initiative that deserves support, love and appreciation.
