Arabia, a land steeped in ancient traditions, where history dances with the modern, has long been a wellspring of inspiration for art. As someone who hails from the enchanting Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and has called the vibrant city of Dubai home for 17 years, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in the rich tapestry of Arabian culture. These experiences have woven their way into my art, allowing me to capture the essence of this captivating region.
The Bougainvillea Tree: A Splash of Color
Picture a vibrant burst of magenta or coral, adorning the streets and homes of Arabia. The Bougainvillea tree, with its resplendent and abundant blooms, is a symbol of vitality and beauty. Its presence in Arabian landscapes infuses my art with a riot of color and a celebration of life's vibrant hues.
Mud Houses: Echoes of History
The old mud houses that dot Arabian landscapes are a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people who once called them home.

These doors are a source of inspiration, symbolizing the welcoming spirit and artistic expression of Arabia.
The Gulf and Pearls: Treasures of the Sea
The azure waters of the Arabian Gulf cradle a world of wonder beneath their surface. Pearls, long a symbol of purity and elegance in Arabian culture, have been harvested from these depths for centuries. The harmony between the sea and the pearls symbolizes the deep-rooted connection between the Arabian people and their marine heritage. This interplay of sea and treasure finds its way into my art, weaving a tale of timeless beauty.
