This is one of the artist's earlier works, created in the spontaneous realism style using oil paint and a palette knife. This technique allows for expressive strokes, effectively capturing the mood of the subject. The inspiration behind this vibrant portrait comes from Dubai's early days as a pearl diving and fishing village. While modern Dubai has transformed into a bustling metropolis, there are still pockets where traditions endure. As the saying goes, 'the eyes are the windows to the soul,' and in this piece, the viewer can truly feel the depth in the subject’s gaze, a gaze full of life, wisdom, and untold stories waiting to be shared.
