This artwork is inspired by one of my favorite photographs of Sheikh Zayed, captured in 1949 amidst the Arabian desert. Originally in black and white, I brought the image to life with vibrant colors, infusing the portrait of our beloved father and leader, Sheikh Zayed, with renewed energy and presence. The transition from monochrome to vivid hues symbolizes the vitality and forward-thinking vision he instilled in our nation. Painting this piece was a deeply fulfilling and refreshing artistic journey for me.
