Samira, Oil on Canvas 50x40 - 1983: An 8 year old child, forced by her parents to work as a housekeeper in one of the artist's neighbors' house to serve as an additional source of income. Farid, a highly humanitarian person who is very sympathetic to the issues of the oppressed and vulnerable victims was touched by this incident and decided to pay tribute to Samira (the child's name) with a stunning portrait. As with most of his works Farid would reflect the deep emotional state of the person being painted.
