From the artist: The painting depicts four people in various costumes that could symbolize different regions of the Kingdom, such as the southern, western, central, and northern regions. The motifs and colors on their clothing appear inspired by Sadu patterns, Asiri Al-Qatt fabrics, Najdi embroidery, and other elements of local heritage.
At the same time, each person carries a symbol for a different hobby or sport: golf, bowling, Formula One, football, tennis, and others. This combination reflects the cultural diversity and hobbies of modern Saudi society, where heritage meets modernity, and authenticity meets entertainment.

This artwork features an abstract style leaning toward contemporary cubism, blending sports with cultural identity.
It illustrates a tennis player in classic white sportswear, standing on a green court in a moment of pure focus and strength. What makes it special is the cultural touch — the player is wearing a traditional shemagh, blending sport with Saudi identity in a simple but powerful way.
The overall design feels balanced, with a classic stamp look and a modern edge that captures the spirit of the event and the pride behind it.

From the artist: The artwork expresses a feeling toward football where the ball is the main symbol of this sport. And I wanted to emphasize its importance with a spontaneous, dreamy feel by adding stars and clouds and lines moving around it as if the ball were rising up into the sky.

From the artist: In this artwork, I wanted to shed light on one of the most impactful elements that can make a real difference: encouragement.
The audience is not merely a group of spectators; they are the heartbeat of the team, and every cheer they give translates into a surge of determination and enthusiasm in the player.
To me, encouragement is not background noise; it is an active presence—one that can change the course of action and make a real difference in the life of anyone who hears it.

A design that reflects a sense of cheering and encouragement from the artist.
I used a Cubist and Abstract style to deconstruct the motion geometrically in an unconventional way.
The artwork symbolizes a broader idea: that every person carries within them a moment where they channel all their energy toward what they believe in.

“Aiming” – A fusion of strength and calm in a woman poised to release her arrow with unwavering focus.
