Meet The Artists Using Tech as their Canvas
In a world where art and technology collide, a new frontier is emerging in Dubai. Featuring Emirati artist Mouza Al Hamrani and Italian artist Ila Colombo, these two creatives are redefining how art and technology intersect.
Mouza draws on her heritage and the early 2000s internet culture of the Gulf, using humor, nostalgia, and digital tools to create work that reflects her lived experience. Ila, a multidisciplinary illustrator, blends design and storytelling to produce striking visuals that connect global audiences to complex ideas in fresh, accessible ways.
From Dubai’s cultural landscape to the digital frontier, this film shows how both artists use technology not just as a tool, but as a canvas that is shaping immersive, authentic works that speak to the future of art itself.
