A woman sits with a wooden pestle steady in her grip, working the hawin against a ground of warm gold that lends the whole scene the weight of something almost devotional. The Hawin opens the Echoes of Heritage collection with a tool most modern kitchens have forgotten, giving it the same careful attention usually reserved for a face or a name. It sets the tone for a national modern art gallery series built on everyday labour rather than grand gesture.
Painted in oil on canvas against a gold background, the work sets the woman's steady hands and the worn wooden pestle in close, deliberate detail.
The canvas measures 18 x 24 inches, establishing the scale carried through the rest of the series.
Signed by the artist and issued with a Certificate of Authenticity, it is a one-of-a-kind piece, and collectors drawn to this kind of facework can inquire about a commission artist painting or a commission for an oil painting portrait of their own.
The Hawin gives lasting form to a sound once ordinary enough to go unnoticed, now held still and worth returning to. It opens MB Gallery's Echoes of Heritage collection of everyday Emirati tradition.
