Petra Kaltenbach is a German painter residing in Dubai, who follows the trends of digitization. She moved to Dubai in 2004 when the transformative period of the UAE began. As an energy healer, graphic designer, and fine artist it felt very authentic to her to have the transformation as the core theme.
She developed her artist career, with one of the milestones being World Art Dubai. Shortlisted by the IEAA and for the Burj Khalifa Façade Petra got attention and recognition. In 2018 World Art Dubai awarded her as the best UAE-resident artist, and she was sponsored for 1 year by Canon. Since 2019, she is curator of World Art Dubai.
For the last 5 years, her art is using the pomegranate as an object to project her ideas because the pomegranate is a symbol of love, health, wealth, and beauty. Petra intertwined her art with technology to express her inner attitude in many creative ways. She has integrated her healing abilities into her art to mediate positive energies to the viewer.
