Shalimar Hassan Abbas Sharbatly (born in 1971) is a Saudi Arabian abstract painter. She was the first woman to be commissioned by the government to do street artwork. She presented her hand-painted, abstract designed Porsche 911 on her stand at a trade fair held in the Carrousel du Louvre.[1]
Sharbatly grew up in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the daughter of Saudi businessman Hassan Abbas Sharbatly.[2] She started painting at the age of three.[3] Her first art exhibit was in 1988 in Cairo when she was 16. Several celebrities attended including Egyptian painter Salah Taher and poet Farouk Juwaidah.[3]
Sharbatly attended the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cairo, Egypt.[4] Later, she earned her bachelor's degree in psychology at King Abdulaziz University and her master's degree in criminology at the Beirut Arab University in Lebanon.[5]
In 2011, Sharbatly married Egyptian film director and comedian, Khaled Youssef.[6] She was found guilty by the Paris Judicial Court on July 2, 2020, of human trafficking, undeclared work and employment of foreigners without a work permit. Verdict: three years in prison and an arrest warrant, the defendant having taken advantage of the easing of her judicial supervision due to professional reasons to leave the country, where she has not set foot since then.
