About the artwork
This unique mixed-media artwork celebrates the spirit and cultural heritage of Qatar through a contemporary artistic expression. The Arabian oryx, a symbol of elegance, resilience, and national identity, stands against the iconic skyline of Doha, surrounded by the timeless beauty of the desert. A delicate crescent moon illuminates the sky, created with layers of epoxy resin that capture the depth, movement, and subtle nuances of light. The hand-carved wooden figures and intricate geometric Arabesque frame blend traditional craftsmanship with modern artistic techniques. The colored resin inlays within the frame enhance the interplay between wood, light, and texture, transforming the piece into a striking three-dimensional wall sculpture. An homage to Qatar, where tradition, nature, and contemporary art converge in a unique and harmonious creation.
