Artist Statement: The beaver will be wearing the traditional Qatari gown ready to go cheer for his team. I would use my artistic skills to highlight Qatar’s history and the maritime heritage like the pearl diving, dhow boat sails and the desert landscape (sand dunes). As for my choice of palette colours, I would definitely use the maroon colour found in their flag which is rooted in Qatar’s historic purple-dye industry. It represents prestige and dignity. Another colour to consider would include warm golden or sandy beige representing the physical earth and the resilience of the Qatari people.
Artist Bio: I am a passionate artist based in Toronto, Ontario. In the field of art I would describe myself as a surrealist. My interest and love of art has been a lifelong affair that began with my own early sketching’s followed by private oil lessons at the Russian Cultural Center. I have involved myself in numerous workshops and art classes over many years.
During this time I have practiced and utilized different mediums including Graphite, Charcoal, Pastel, Acrylic and Oil paints. This range has permitted me to create individual commissions for ten years, and I have also participated in solo and group exhibitions in the Middle East and Canada as well as numerous art auctions.
