Art

a house of local art

Amalia is designed and handmade by Haitham.

The concrete statues decorate our courtyard.
They all have Amalia as their first name and the second name is in honor of a woman who had or has certain influence in Haitham's life.

The Amalia figurines are made of baked ceramic clay. They are elegant Curaçao ladies.
Some have found their home in New York, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Brazil, Israel and Australia.

Every last Sunday of the month we open our doors to the public with our Amalia Exihibition.

Amalia Badiha

Badiha was Haitham's grandmother (father's side).
She was a very authoritarian woman, and very smart regardless the little education she received back in Lebanon. If you visit her house, make sure you go with good intentions and she will love you as her own.

Amalia Betty

Betty was Haitham's nanny.
She was from St. Vincent and loves gossip. She always needed to know who's visiting and where they come from.
Today Betty lives in Montreal, Canada.

Amalia Carla

Carla is Haitham's sister from another mother.
Carla doesn't like to be bothered too much. She loves her tranquility. She had worked hard, and now she wants to enjoy a relaxed life. Now a days she lives between The Netherlands and New York, she does yoga and reiki.

Amalia Danielle

Danielle is Haitham's daughter.
She's naughty, and yet very elegant.
Danielle is very social, she plays the violin, sings and she also does ballet.

Amalia Elba

Elba is Haitham's godmother. She looked after Haitham as a baby so his parents could go to work.
Her house was always open to all. She is a very caring and humble person.
Someone big in all senses of the word.
Always willing to give her best to others.

Amalia Nadine

Nadine is Haitham's cousin.
Not an easy person.
Sometimes she can be annoying, but she's loved by all her friends.
She has to be the center of attention.

Lady Amalia

Lady Amalia is not a beauty queen, but she's elegant and always well dressed.
She enjoys eating and doesn't mind being a little voluptuous as long as she has the curves.
She loves nice clothing with fine accessories.
Their are too many ladies like this in Haitham's life, so he made one sculpture honoring them all.

Amalia Rüna

Rüna is Haitham’s mother.
A very humble and transparent person. That’s why this sculpture has no painting.
The open arms are saying two things: I love you this much, and mama's here to hug and protect you.

Amalia Lenny

Lenny is Haitham's aunt.
She's also like a mother to Haitham. Just like her sister Rüna she's also a very humble and transparent person. That’s why this sculpture too has no painting.
She's a simple and yet a very beautiful person who loves to spoil her nephew.
