Emma Pathere

Emma Pathare is a painter working in oils. Her main focus is portraiture and herdelight in this art form comes from the shapes and colours found in the human face, and the ever-changing relationship between picture, subject and viewer. Emma’s artistic emergence has been a journey inspired by the brilliant artists she has encountered along the way. Her paintings have won prizes in group exhibitions in Dubai and she exhibited in London in May 2016 as part of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Annual Exhibition. Also this year, her painting ‘Elvira’ progressed to the second round of the BP Portrait Award in the UK.

Emma paints for the love of it and for private commissions. Originally from England, she has been based in Dubai for 15 years, where she works as a freelance writer and painter.
