Dr. Roa... From Damascus to Norway, an artistic journey in search of humanity
From Damascus, where the first beginnings were formed, to Moscow, which embraced ten years of study and experience, and finally to Norway, where art has taken on new human and cultural dimensions, Dr. Roa's journey extends between creativity and a continuous search for the meaning of art and its impact on human life.
In this episode of the "Journey" program, we get closer to Roa the person and the artist, and follow the transformations that shaped her artistic experience, from symbols and Syrian memory to digital painting and children's arts, and the role of art in expressing pain and healing the soul.
We also stop at her academic and cultural experience in Norway, and how she conveys Middle Eastern arts to students from different backgrounds, carrying with her the features of identity and memory into new spaces.
The episode takes us into the world of her new release, "In Seven Days," to discover the story behind this title and the human questions it raises about transformation, self-confrontation, and the rediscovery of life, alongside personal and artistic milestones, including the painting "Syria" and the pain and hope it carries.
Dr. Roa's journey reminds us that art is not just colors and images, but a human language that crosses borders, preserves memory, and gives pain a chance to be transformed into meaning, and perhaps grants a human being a new beginning in seven days.
