An older man sits with strands of pale palm frond fanned between his fingers, his gaze fixed downward on the work rather than the viewer, a woven basket resting half-finished beside him. The Palm Weaver joins its companions in the Echoes of Heritage collection in treating the craft itself as the true subject hands, material, and patience given the same weight usually reserved for a face. It reads well within a pop up art gallery built around the everyday labour behind Emirati tradition.
Painted in oil on canvas against a warm copper-toned background, the work renders the frond strands and the weaver's hands with close, deliberate attention.
The canvas measures 18 x 24 inches, matching 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, priced in line with the commissioned painting cost of comparable figure work.
The Palm Weaver gives lasting form to a skill once passed from hand to hand rather than taught in words. It takes its place among the pieces available for commission for painting through MB Gallery's Echoes of Heritage collection.
