In preparation for Oman’s 52nd National Day, the Infrastructure,
Technology, Industrial and Consumer Solutions cluster of Mohsin Haider Darwish LLC (MHD-ITICS), supported an event that brought together 27
artists from across the country to paint a three-metre by two
metre map of the Sultanate of Oman.
The event, held under the auspices of Guest of Honour H H Sayyid Kamil bin Fahd bin Mahmoud al Said, the Secretary-general of Oman’s General Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers, experienced a morning of unity, inspiration and empowerment of Oman’s art community.

try. Ideated by Maryam Mohammed Baniorabah, the event under the theme, ‘Building
Oman, Together’ showcased a montage portraying the journey of the painting, featuring picturesque landscapes and testimonials from the artists.
This was followed by the unveiling of the Map of Oman by H H Sayyid Kamil. Honourable Lujaina Mohsin Darwish then delivered a keynote speech. To add to the exuberance of the morning, Oman’s well-renowned singer and songwriter, Haitham Rafi enthralled the audience with his par excellence performance.
“Art is a platform for people to express their feelings, emotions and thoughts in ways that are not always possible in words or actions,” Honourable Lujaina Mohsin Darwish said. “Therefore, in celebrating the 52nd National Day, there is no better way to demonstrate our sense of belonging and patriotism than the display of a work of brilliance, cu
rated by extremely talented
Omani artists, representing their wilayats gathered to pay tribute to our beloved nation,” she added.
“MHD-ITICS will continue to support and bring forth local talents. The gifted artists in our midst reflect artisanal values. Their artistic practice reflects traditions whose influence continues to flow through our con
temporary culture. With the right level of support and encouragement, these artists are the cre
ative stimuli that fertilise the seeds and enable a truly vibrant cultural hub to grow.”
