Talking about her artistic talent, Al-Saleh said, “I started drawing at a young age. My passion for colors was increasing and my ambitions and dreams were growing every day. I always felt that something was attracting me towards the world of painting. I had a great determination to dive into this field. I have strived to develop my talent and refine it well through continuous training and learning about the experiences of others, as I was not able to complete my studies at the Institute of Art Education because of my own circumstances. Therefore, I followed my course and I managed to make from the environmental remnant three-dimensional sculptured models, with themes that simulate the reality in which we live, in addition to paintings in oil colors, some of them with pencils and charcoal”.
