In this painting, the artist offers a striking portrayal of a traditional Omani village perched at the horizon—its mosque, clustered homes, and lines of palm trees forming a quiet silhouette against the sky. But the true depth of the piece lies beneath. The artist shifts the viewer’s attention to the textured layers of the earth itself, emphasizing the unseen foundation that holds the village. With careful gradations and earthy tones, he reveals the terrain’s history—etched in sediment and time.

This isn’t just a landscape; it’s a statement of rootedness. The village is not only built on the land, but of the land. Through this vertical narrative, the artist expresses how deeply the Omani people are connected to their soil—not just in tradition, but in identity and being.
