Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and show the portraits I created of Sheikh Zayed in my tapestries,&#8221; Schubel says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Talking about her art style, &#8216;paint-shooting&#8217;, she explains, &#8220;at the beginning, when you want to shoot the animal, it is very important to have a personal encounter with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;I need to feel its aura and personality, and to know the detailed colour shades of the skin, eyes, feathers, and other details. This information is essential for my paintings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;I visualize the personality, the aura of the animal on canvas, painting huge colour compositions (up to 80 square meters). Several colour layers are painted to increase the impression of depth,&#8221; she adds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s not a common photo shooting, the German artist says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;It\u2019s a spectacular photo action with moving animals in front of my huge paintings. To be successful you need a great commitment, a lot of patience, a good feeling for the animals and a big talent for improvisation. The photo shooting is an adventure for which you need some courage, not knowing how the animals (for example horses) will act,&#8221; she explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;A special team has to support me. Besides working with the animals, you need to fix the portable electric devices (electric generators, spotlight and others) which have to be brought along and manage the elaborate logistics. Not to forget all the additional equipment for special effects, and high-end cameras to get best quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;The photos are taken both indoors and outdoors. Of course, it\u2019s a greater challenge doing it in nature as there are many influences which make it much more difficult, like sun, wind, and rain. Shooting free-flying falcons also is also a particular challenge. Photo shooting can take several days or much longer.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s also a very time-consuming process that requires a great force physically and mentally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;I have to rent a big hall which I use as my atelier and a team who manage the difficult logistics. The painting period can take several months,&#8221; Schubel concludes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-editor\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">WAM<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0&#8220;Portraying falcons is destiny for me, because it immediately brought me to the Arab world.&#8221; This was when German artist, Christine Schubel, fell in love with Arabic traditions and culture, becoming now a constant exhibitor at UAE-based exhibitions.
