About The Artist
THE SPIRIT OF THE EMIRATI HERITAGE
In an age racing toward modernity, Emirati artist Mayed Mohammed chooses to turn his brush back to the past, reviving the essence of Emirati heritage while infusing it with the artistic spirit of the nineteenth century.
HERITAGE MEETS CLASSICISM
In his paintings, the details of traditional Emirati life intertwine with the classical touch of the 1880s schools of art — where simplicity meets depth of expression. The faces of forefathers, their gatherings, and the noble horses of chivalry appear alongside the sea and desert landscapes, transforming each canvas into a timeless space that unites local memory with a universal style.
THE ARTIST’S VISION
As the artist himself says: “For me, art is inner peace. My journey with heritage is not merely a remembrance of history, but an attempt to pause time and make memory live before the eye.”
RESHAPING MEMORY
Mayed Mohammed does not merely depict the past as it was; rather, he reshapes it, clothing Emirati heritage in a form that renders it part of a broader human narrative. Each painting whispers that the Emirati story can be told with the elegance of the West and the depth of the East at once.
A BRIDGE BETWEEN WORLDS
Through this fusion, his works become not only a celebration of heritage, but also a bridge between past and present, between the Emirates and the world, between authenticity and modernity.
