DUBAI: Lebanese artist Fatima Dia is auctioning her viral Beirut explosion painting, “Rising Angels,” to help those affected by the blast which tore through it on Aug. 4 from the city’s port area, killing over 135 and injuring thousands.
The artist will donate 100 percent of the proceeds to people who lost their homes and were affected by the tragedy.
In a post Dia shared on Instagram, captioning a video of the drawing in process, she said that at the beginning she created the painting as a way to express her feelings.
“But now that you like it and it started going viral, I decided to sell it in an auction and donate 100 percent of the amount (no matter what that amount will be at the end) to the people who lost their homes and were affected by this tragedy,” she wrote to her 13,800 followers.
“Everything will be broadcasted live on my page to guarantee the transparency,” the painter added.
So far, the selling price has reached $5,700.
The auction deadline is Aug. 30, 2020 at midnight Saudi time.
Artists around the world, including Canadian-Lebanese singer Massari and UAE-based musician Angi Shaya, have been supporting Dia’s artwork and her humble initiative.
