My solo art exhibition in Japan, Tenri City & Kawakami Village. June 2017.
The Exhibition was held as part of the official opening of Nara-Oman Friendship Association Event. I have participated as an art ambassador to Oman, and presented several traditional Omani products such as Frankincense, Omani clothes, & others. As well as several photography books about Oman.
I've created artworks with creative ideas merging in some Japanese & Omani cultures together in every piece. Read below for more...
Friends: I've presented this artwork as a gift for the Nara-Oman Friendship Association. The artwork is about two friends, the Omani sea turtle & the Japanese deer which is known as Nara's symbol. Under the blooming cherry tree & some seashells beneath them.
