My goal with “Whisper of Roses” is to live moments of beauty, moments of sophistication And I hope, the world around us has begun to abuzz with ugly things such as wars, hunger, and poverty that we see through the news, so I started from this angle, which is the angle of beauty, and I aim to make everyone who enters my exhibition feel calm and serene, and appreciate the beauty that still exists, and discover that there is a beautiful aspect in life It is as if he enters a place where quiet elegant music is playing, while the outside world is filled with noise and screams. How long did it take you to prepare for “Whisper of the Rose”? Determined in highlighting our rich Saudi heritage of beauty and originality, and I expressed it in Saudi women. Where did you get the name of the exhibition “Whisper of Roses” from? During my work, she whispers as roses whisper, because roses are the closest thing to beauty, so it deserves to be likened to a woman. Yes, a woman's feeling is very similar to the feeling of a rose. You give women a big place in your paintings. See what's the secret? Certainly, women are the focus of the theme of the exhibition with all its paintings. Saudi women are as heritage as beauty as dreams as customs and traditions, representing the history of our country. I have been inspired by women for their appearance, beauty, and traditional clothes over the years, and the most important point is their feeling, which is similar to that of roses. Are you trying through your paintings to convey a message to those who try to curb women's freedom? She wondered, “Who can curb a woman’s freedom?” Then she continued: There is no doubt that a woman is free, no matter how different her environment is, and whatever her status is, and nothing stands in the way of her freedom. Rather, my purpose in showing women in my paintings is to show their beauty and delicate sense, and their embodiment of our Saudi heritage throughout the ages. What do your paintings represent to you? Each of my paintings has a period of time, and has a memory in me, and experiences that are embodied in the painting. Of course, my origins and the environment in which I grew up also have a great influence on my paintings. Although my paintings are inspired by ancient heritage, I combined the sea with it by virtue of my residence in the eastern region. You took a break from exhibitions, so did you have other activities? Indeed, I stopped personal exhibitions a while ago, before returning now with “Whisper of Roses.” My activity during the previous period was limited to participation. . What was your first exhibition? My first exhibition was in Dammam, under the name "Colorful Poems", then I had other exhibitions in Al-Ahsa, Al-Khobar, Riyadh, and finally in Jeddah, "Whisper of Roses". When did your talent begin to manifest? Since my childhood I loved drawing, so I started drawing from the age of four, but art matures with the maturity of a person, and I worked to develop my talent and refine it with my experiences, so I stayed in my studio working, drawing and experimenting until I mastered the field, and defined my own style for me that distinguishes my work
