Hey guys!
It's been a lovely, but crazzzyyy busy week. We're officially moving into our new place and I'm just so excited. It's hard to believe we've officially spent a year in Abu Dhabi, and in a hotel apartment, at that! Our new place is Gate Towers, one of the newest properties completed in the capital. It's pretty spectacular if I do say so myself.
The views are outstanding. From our flat, we can see the Grand Mosque, Saadiyat Island, and lots of water and inland islands. Quite the change from our previous views of the buildings directly in front of us, and the screeching construction outside 6 days a week.

I can't believe it, but I'm actually a bit nervous. I've had such success in my old studio. It was a struggle at first, I'll admit, but I was soon forced to make the most of it and man, did some beautiful paintings come out of there. Moving into a new place means I'll have to find a new zone, new vibes. I'm worried that I won't find my mojo in time, haha.
The best part about this place is the lovely light pouring in on all of these white walls. I get to hang my art everywhere! The colors just make me sing. I love it. It's so vibrant, I had to take some preliminary iPhone shots and share it with you guys:

I'm happy we get to start our lives in such an amazing place. They say it takes about a year to get used to living abroad so I'd like to count this as our new start. Hoping for good things to come out of this place, and I can't help but get excited every time I look down our corridor into my new studio.
Anyway, I better get back to unpacking here. More posts soon!
Stay cool folks,
Amira
