Afterwards, I will transfer the drawing on canvas. A certain kind of feeling also brings diff erent colours with it. If you are feeling sad, you will use darker colours — may be black. When you are happy, your colours will be light and lively.

What do you mostly paint and what techniques do you use? I usually work with oil paints. I have also done some works using water colours. In fact, I have used most of the mediums, but my favourite are oil colours. I love to paint about the environment and nature; especially, I love to paint about life and Qatar’s landscape. I believe an artist should paint and highlight his or her native country. I’m attracted to realism even if some people think that realism is old-fashioned and much of work in realism has already been done. They say that one should go for modern art like abstract. For me, art is art — whatever you may want to call it.

What is that you like the most about your work? I have enjoyed painting diff erent things. I love many of them. There is one painting that I made about ART COLLECTION: Pieces by Abdulrahman Abdullah Aldorani. the works of a poet — it is what I covet the most. Many of my paintings have won appreciation at diff erent exhibitions. I have taken part in a lot of exhibitions both in Qatar and abroad. I have displayed work at art exhibitions in India, Jordan, Italy and other GCC countries.

Who or what has been your biggest inspiration as an artist? There is no certain artist. I will appreciate any artist with good work. However, the old masters and old art works have always inspired me.

What are your future plans as an artist? Strictly speaking, I am not a professional artist. This is my hobby. Right now, I have no plans or desire to become an artist of international fame. I just like and enjoy doing paintings. I paint whatever I feel. I have been working on two diff erent paintings, highlighting the ongoing siege of Qatar by its neighbours. As an artist, I feel strongly about the blockade. This situation has been painful for families and aff ected people on a human level.

How do you relate to works of your fellow artists? I see that there is a lot of improvement particularly, in the work of women artists. They are doing very well actually. However, there is always room for improvement. Every artist wants his or her work to be appreciated. The facilities are great. The fame to Qatar. It has been off ering advantage from it and I expect to You have given quite a bit to And artists have been getting government has been doing great opportunities to all artists and see some fine artists here in the art.
