When I moved to Dubai for my next job offer I soon started longing for my long forgotten passion of painting. I started exploring a new medium for me – silk. Being a westerner living in Dubai I definitely was inspired by the local culture a lot. And here’s the result: my collection of Arabian themed paintings. Some of them took a couple of weeks working 5-6 hours a day, others less than that. But I enjoyed each and every one of them.
Hope you enjoy!

Sheikh Zayed Grand mosque by Night. 110×80 cm. Hot wax batik on cotton. Sheikh Zayed Mosque by Night Having spent an afternoon at the mosque and witnessed an elusive twilight hour I was fascinated by the sublime beauty of the Grand Mosque and definitely wanted to capture its’ night lights in my painting. Perfection in every architectural detail, beauty of traditional Islamic designs in glass and marble, symmetry and repetition. Balance of past and present, physical and spiritual aspects in this masterpiece.

These are so beautiful. I really like the areas that you let loose more, like when you use lots of different colors to paint a wall or the side of a building. Thank you so much for sharing your work.
