Viola Halaby

Miss Viola Halaby.

Fielne.

Miss Viola Halaby is a well known painter around the world, and is the most famous woman of her craft ever known. She is credited with creating different colors of paints as well, one of them being a color she simply calls "The Perfect Blue", and is known to use in a majority of her works.

She was born in the early nineteen-hundreds, but as a Fielne was blessed with long life, and is known to still be alive, although sources say she has since moved from her home estate in Aswary to a country villa in the city of Birth, in the Histian Empire to the west of Rethium across the Thhhraeae Ocean.

One of her most famous paintings is "The Wanderer and The Setting Sun." Which depicts a figure only seen as a shadow walking into a setting sun, which takes up the majority of the image while being painted with various shades of orange, red and yellow to create the massive circular backdrop of the picture. Her paintings have been valued in the millions, and she has been painting even after having moved to the Empire, still known to sell her paintings from the Empire to potential buyers, museums and art galleries across the world. 

One of the longest-standing art galleries to have housed her works was the National Birth Center for The Creative Arts, founded roughly fifty years or more before her birth, and one of the first to purchase the true copies of her paintings to store in their art gallery to display to the public. These same copies were actually kept in Halaby's personal home with exact copies being made to place in the art gallery for the public viewing, and she even auctioned those same paintings off to be sent to other galleries and museums across the world for the benefit of the public who wanted to learn more about her craft and her style, which she claimed was unique to her and her paintings. Agnes Albergotti, amongst others, are known to own paintings from her in their homes, and it is these paintings that are valued so highly above others. 

Another one of the paintings she is well known for was The Great Invitation. 

This painting is famous for being made not just by Halaby herself, but by leading members of every known race during that time period, as well as the generation that came before them. Every single race had a piece of themselves in the work. From the Elven race ambassador Ryule Heidan, to the Dwarven forgemaster Irmald Vona and even the emperor of the Histian Empire, Tertius Caecina Agustalis himself. Each and every well-known historical figure of that time provided their print for the painting, which was created as a one-of-a-kind product and was not sold to any known museums or art galleries. Halaby instead keeps the painting in her home, inside her private painting room. It has since been valued at over five million Lodarr for it's unique art and quality.
