Christabel Lobo is an Abu Dhabi-based writer, guidebook author and illustrator whose work explores travel, memory, and culture.
She creates illustrations—mostly through gouache, patterns, and texture—rooted in everyday rituals, from desert landscapes and popular snacks to folk‑floral patterns and architectural facades.
Drawing on two decades of fieldwork for feature publications and travel guidebooks, her art is an invitation to pause and see the familiar as inherited landscape.
