Iraqi artist paints tribute to those fighting coronavirus
Basra-based artist Doaa Manshed is presenting a series of paintings that illustrate her vision of the spreading coronavirus.
From paintings of medical workers to abstract representations of the virus attacking the human body, Manshed also uses real face masks that she attaches to her works.
The 28-year-old painter usually works for a private tourism company but is now devoting her time under lockdown to painting. As an artist, she sees her role in illustrating what currently worries society most, the coronavirus pandemic, and in raising awareness throughout her community.
Unable to organize an actual exhibition due to the restrictions imposed on the city of Basra to curb the spread of the coronavirus, Manshed is using social media to promote her works.
