Overview
In her first solo art exhibition in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the artist presented a collection that drew inspiration from the history of the Arabian Peninsula in general and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in particular. This collection embodied the rich cultural and social diversity of the Kingdom, reflecting various cultural and historical activities across different regions of the Arabian Peninsula. From the eastern Gulf to Najd, passing through the Hejaz and other areas, the artist integrated her vision, which reflects the culture, into her paintings. The collection included artworks of various sizes, created using oil colors, gold and silver metal sheets, and copper sheets on canvas. The artist's skillful use of metal sheets combined with cold and warm colors, depending on the subject, gave a unique character to the colors and paintings. These artworks reflect the artist's influence by the diversity and richness of Saudi Arabian culture, as she has become a part of it as a resident artist, and her artistic vision reflects her perspective on that culture and the land rich in history and heritage.
