Camel Race Painting by Micheline Nohra

the Story

In “Camel Race” Micheline Nohra reimagines the region’s traditional sport through a witty, modern lens. A lone camel races across a vibrant desert field, guided not by a human jockey but a red robot labeled “Winner”. The playful irony captures today’s intersection of heritage and technology, where even age-old traditions are being redefined by innovation and automation.

The energetic brushstrokes and bold color contrasts echo the intensity of the race, while the abstract background conveys motion, dust, and the adrenaline of competition. Micheline’s expressive palette turns the scene into a dynamic metaphor for progress, a race between man, machine, and time itself.
