 Opera House Oman - Architecture

The Royal Opera House is the gem of Oman's architectural scene. Never before has a building fused between traditional Omani and modern architecture on such a staggering scale. The lighting emphasises this fusion giving a modern allure to the classical arches.

 Sketches

 I was influenced by the famous artist Johannes Vermeer. This recreation of Jan's "The Milkmaid" painting is the first of my sketches drawn after being exposed to this talented artists work. 

This is a sketch of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos. I sketched this after the announcement of his departure to Germany for treatment.

I was influenced by the famous artist Victoria Frances, her illustrations and sketches recall the dreamlike world of Gothic Romanticism.

The two sketches below pay homage to Victoria Frances's gothic romanticism.

This sketch of a common scene in Venice has been drawn with a focus on the historical buildings lining the canal of this city.

Paintings



A fauvist painting of a city. Acrylic paint was aggressively applied to create a sense of colour explosion on the canvas.

This painting is an imaginary recreation of a lush garden drawn in the heat of our desert surroundings.

Through my influence by the Omani nature, I painted this illustration of life in Oman’s villages. I have used acrylic paint for this painting. The woman’s traditional Omani attire represents the attachment of the village people to their roots. I have always been fascinated by the Bedouins and their simplistic yet beautiful way of living.



This painting of sunflowers was completed using acrylic paint. To add texture to the leaves, I used a pallet knife.

A Beauty Behind A Mask

Real accessories were used in this piece to draw attention to the texture. This painting is a testament to the fusion of cultures in Oman. The mask (named Burqa'a) and the scarf reflect the influence of religion on the Omani Culture. The colourful dress shows the celebratory side to the Omani culture and the love of Omanis for beauty. 

Using different colours in the background, I used a knife patel to add texture. Actual rose petals were used for the dancing girls dresses.

Three-Dimensional Work

 The following sculptures were created using clay and a toothpick was used to create their features.
