Dubai Park Murals - Enriching Dubai's Creative Scene
The murals ‘The Tide’, ‘Amalgamation’, and ‘Epitome’, as part of the Dubai Calligraphy Biennale, under the artistic supervision of Ahmad Makary, represent a qualitative addition to the Dubai Public Art initiative. These murals enrich Dubai's cultural and artistic scene, reflecting the efforts of Dubai Culture to create a creative environment supporting artistic talent and encouraging them to showcase their creative works publicly. UAE-based Argentinian Yubran Gosne (aka Sanctum) presented his mural ‘The Tide’ at the entrance of Umm Suqeim Park. Inspired by the movement of the sea and its energy, and their connection to the sands, Yubran used three greens, blues, and turquoises to depict the bond between water and land. The mural ‘Amalgamation’ by UAE-based Algerian artist Ahmed Amine Aitouche (aka Sneak Hotep) located in Nad Al Sheba Park, consists of three angular wall surfaces, visible from one angle as a singular art piece. Aitouche aims to highlight how Dubai serves as a model of balance between tradition and modernity, freedom and discipline, and utilising cultural diversity for urban and social development. The mural ‘Epitome’ also created by Sneik Hotep in Abu Hail Park, serves as a silent message for those striving to be better versions of themselves every day.
