CREATING AN ARTISTS' HAVEN

Nadine Kanso had a good philosophy about moving to Dubai. "A new city, a new life," says the stunning Lebanese-artist. Having arrived in Dubai eight years ago, Nadine says she leaves these things to destiny. "I am not the type to think where I'll end up in general and Dubai is just the beginning and not the end. I am a photographer and a jewellery designer. I love what I do because it is innovative, challenging and creative. I am here to be a part of history I guess, and watch the city grow." An all-round artist, Nadine decided to concentrate on photography and jewellery design. Today she is celebrated for her latest creations of gold jewellery created through Arabic writing. "Dreams can come true in Dubai where not even the sky is the limit."
