Meanwhile,  plastic artist Salam Ahmed had a distinguished contribution with paintings that simulate the female in her various emotional states.                                                                 Where she applied her paintings on large scale plates ,for she found greater breadth to express the feelings within her towards the woman who faces life with unlimited strength.

Abstraction had its largest share in the paintings of the fine artist Bushra Diob, as she succeeded in finding a special imprint for herself ,where she works between abstraction and lettering, combining Arabic calligraphy in different colors with her feeling, reflecting in a beautiful, professional way through her work.

As for the plastic artist Mahabah Leon, she embodied the conditions and emotions of the sea in her five paintings in her own style, leaning towards realistic and expressive approaches.

While the artist Carmen Chouqaira took a unique style when she added to the realistic school a feminine touch in which she embodied the emotions of women and their suffering through life.
