Metamorphosis of Dubai

Artfive0 was initiated in 2018 as a means of inspiring imagination and engaging the many creative personalities throughout the region. A multitude of artists living, working, and studying across the GCC submitted a diverse range of proposals as part of a public art competition. The selected piece has transformed a concrete wall of 11 meters high and 53 meters wide into a monumental mural that can be seen in Dubai International Financial Center. I was selected as the competition winner by a carefully selected panel of judges and done one of the most giant murals in Dubai.

 

Metamorphosis of Dubai

Celebrate a unique blend of Dubai’s past, present, and future. Dubai’s cultural traditions inherit their characteristics from the Bedouin generosity, a passion for knowledge, and an openness to other nations and cultures.
