With travel an integral part of her<br />
everyday life, it follows that many<br />
of the pieces adorning every nook<br />
are sourced from abroad. “I collected<br />
most of my art pieces from travelling.<br />
In New York, I spent a lot of time in<br />
galleries and at art exhibitions but<br />
when I arrived here I started to get<br />
interested in the art of the region –<br />
the scene is very rich. Currently, my<br />
absolute favourite is Rokni Haerizadeh,<br />
an Iranian artist represented in<br />
galleries such as Gallery Issabelle Van<br />
Den Eynde in Alserkal Avenue.”<br />
With a thriving business,<br />
adventurous spirit and creative<br />
ventures, everyday is a whirlwind in<br />
the Sawko household, something that<br />
makes time spent with family extra<br />
special. “My favourite space in the<br />
house is the kitchen. My husband and<br />
I work a lot, but here we exchange<br />
stories over good food and talk with<br />
the kids about their day. It’s a moment<br />
that’s warm and precious, and I look<br />
forward to it every day. I also love<br />
to cook so, to me, the kitchen is the<br />
beating heart of our home”.<br />
“I always go with what I feel; I go<br />
with passion. The place always inspires<br />
how it’s going to end up like”<br />
