The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. There are faces that cannot be summarized by features, because they carry within their presence the memory of a nation, the journey of leadership, and the extension of history. From here came "Maqam"; an artwork that evokes the image of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, not just as a portrait of a national figure, but as a symbol of an established era in the history of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. With graphite, the details are calmly formed; shadows and light meet to give the features their presence, while the canvas leaves room for contemplation of the meaning that transcends the image. "Maqam" is a celebration of the nation in the features of its leader, and of the leadership that has become associated in the minds of Saudis with steadfastness, loyalty, and pride in identity. An artwork measuring 110 x 60 cm, executed in graphite on canvas, and can be developed into an oil treatment that gives the work greater color dimension and visual richness. Maqam When the features of a leader summarize... the story of a nation
