Pomegranate Art Bridges UAE and Germany | Dubai News

A German artist living in Dubai is turning heads with her vibrant pomegranate art, blending tradition with tech and symbolism with style. Petra Kaltenbach, a 64-year-old award-winning artist and curator since moving to the UAE in 2004, uses the pomegranate as a universal symbol of love and peace—especially in today’s world. Her latest series, “Everybody’s Darling,” features 40 3D-printed sculptures hand-finished with Arabic motifs, some adorned with smiling lips to evoke warmth and surrender. She’s already won acclaim for her NFTs using AR, and now she’s preparing to debut these sculptures at World Art Dubai while also advising on cultural initiatives. Commissioned by Germany’s foreign ministry to honor 50 years of diplomatic ties, Petra’s work beautifully merges Arab and European aesthetics, reflecting her dual identity—and her mission to bridge cultures through art.
