Aida Murad says of her exhibition, 'I fell in love with every part of Riyadh's people, nature and environment. So to express my love I painted 26 abstract paintings, which are my love letters'.

Aida's paintings in the exhibition clearly show her deep passion for Riyadh. In one particular painting, 'It's a Colorful World', he used leaves collected from Riyadh's diplomatic quarter, representing the diversity of the city's people.

"I walked around the diplomatic quarter and collected different leaves, which was a beautiful experience for me," said the Jordanian artist. I collected leaves with a childlike curiosity and celebrated the diversity of the city by painting them with different colors'.

Murad hopes that exhibition visitors will get a sense of love from his artworks.

"I hope, from this exhibition, you will feel a sense of fulfillment and gratitude for standing on this earth, a deeper appreciation for life," he said. The exhibition will end on Friday. Source: Arab News
