Barnes Dubai Magazine Second Edition

ART

With an astounding list of accolades and credentials, including a Guinness World Record for ‘Humanity Inspired’, the world’s “largest art canvas,” billing as a co-creator of a Rolls-Royce Car Collection out of Goodwood, and receipt of the Mother Teresa International Award for his humanitarian work, Dubai-based internationally celebrated British artist, Sacha Jafri is now considered one of the world’s most influential living artists. He has had success with many charity ventures, including raising millions of dollars to benefit The Start Foundation, HRH Prince William’s ‘Royal Foundation’, UNESCO, The Elton John Foundation and Al Noor's Children with Special Needs, amongst others, and is a long-time ambassador for the Global Gift Foundation. His client list is exclusive as it is extensive, with members of royal families from all over the world, as well as international celebrities such as Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sir Richard Branson, Sir Paul McCartney, Eva Longoria, Oprah Winfrey, Huda Kattan, Virat Kohli, Sir Lewis Hamilton and David Beckham. BARNES was excited to be granted exclusive access to his magnificent colour-bursting studio warehouse in the Al Quoz art district of Dubai for a private preview of his ground- breaking '25-year Retrospective Collection' before this extraordinary collection tours the world.

We are made of energy, and we communicate at our most powerful through energy, but our energy is made of our intentions. If I can focus on my intentions and lay paint with pure intention, the paint itself can vibrate at a higher frequency, which can change consciousness and enter the soul, hopefully helping to reconnect humanity through my work.
