The young Syrian 'Queen of colours'
#Children

In a world of scarred landscapes, still life and portraits, eight-year-old Syrian artist Maria Barghouthy is already making a name for herself

AMMAN, Jordan - Maria does not remember a time when her country was not at war; she was only three years-old when the Syrian war started. When asked if she knows what war means, Maria draws a blank. After a few moments she says: "It's what happens when people don't like each other."

Maria Barghouthy is a talented Syrian artist who is "eight-and-a-half years-old," she announces proudly and with a huge smile during a Skype call with Middle East Eye.

Not necessarily at all. The Virgin is revered in all forms of Islam as well.

She does have some amazing talent.
