Muscat, (ONA) - The activities of the online art exhibition under the title (Land of Colours) organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth, represented by the Omani Society for Fine Arts, began today, showing the artworks of four glorious artists from the Dhofar Governorate, whose artistic experiences were characterized by generosity and creativity. The exhibition displays the works of Mayada Saeed Rayhan, Yusra Salem Muqebel, Asma Abdel Aziz Kulaib, and Maryam Muhammad Al-Omari. This exhibition marks the Omani Women's Day and its pioneering role in all fields by displaying the exhibition’s works in an online hall via the Instagram account of the Omani Society for Fine Arts (osfagovoman).
The exhibition includes 32 artworks with 8 works by each artist, which varied between highlighting the components of the original Omani culture and heritage, and views of the Omani environment with its rich nature and unique terrain, and between the aesthetics of Arabic calligraphy and the various lettering formations.
Mayada Saeed said, “My artworks express nature in my country, the sea and its unique world, the blessed renaissance of Oman, the sunrise in the towering Jebel Samhan, and the coalescence of the clouds with the peaks to embody an artistic painting of a wonderful view. The beaches of the charming Dhofar Governorate, rich in beautiful shells and the seasons for their collection and search for them in the depths of the sea, have appeared in my artistic works, and their colours are reflected with the fishing boats, so the seagulls gather on board to make them a haven for them.”
The artist, Yusra Muqebel, said, “I participated in works with a heritage character, inspired by old doors and windows, and Dhofari writings in colours and materials in abstract artistic paintings.”
Actress Asma Kulaib said, “My work varied between heritage and crafts, as I tried to embody heritage in women through the heritage emanating from the professions and trades that Omani women used to work in in the past.”
The artist Maryam Al-Omari said, “The Arabic letter in its various forms takes a large place in my artistic work because of its privacy and aesthetics, as well as adding the Arab identity to the artwork.”
