The Emirati diving season is a cherished and time-honoured tradition that dates back centuries when divers would scour the seas in search of precious pearls. The mural, created over four days from 17th to 20th March, earnestly captures the essence of the Holy Month and conjures memories of the past when men would go diving while fasting and their wives and children waited and prayed for their safe return.
Using colours specifically designed for this glass facade, the artwork created by Hamad Al Nayli Al Shamsi will pay homage to the UAE’s rich, beautiful history and the cultural significance of this beloved season. The art piece’s forefront displays the beautiful contrasts of the sea and land – divers are depicted searching for pearls in the ocean, and on land, a family is portrayed coming together to celebrate Ramadan and cherishing the precious gift of pearls. A heartwarming art piece portraying the prestige of Emirati culture.
“It’s an honor to collaborate with Al Fardan Jewellery Abu Dhabi and showcase the beauty and significance of the Emirati diving season through my artwork. Ramadan is a special time for our country, and I am thrilled to be a part of this initiative to promote our cultural heritage in this beautiful moment,” says Hamad Al Nayli Al Shamsi.
