Legendary Emirati Artist and Entrepreneur

Ahmad Al Awadhi is an Emirati artist, AKA “Mr. Rukni”, is a senior Emarati Artist and business man started exhibiting his work in 1992 after a friend said his paintings were too good to go unseen. He has been successful in developing a distinctive style that anyone can quickly recognize.

Some of his artworks are is displayed in Al Ahmediya Heritage House in Bur Dubai , The paintings Inspired by the traditional houses that remind him of his upbringing in Sharjah.

One of his famous painting is of the late Founding Father Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan , and his favorite and most notable piece is that of Pope Francis and the Imam of Al Azhar ,created when they met each other in Abu Dhabi during a Papal visit for the signing of a Human Fraternity Document as part of the UAE’s Year of Tolerance.

He also participated in numerous national and international exhibitions, and several foreign museums now have his works in their collections.

Art is a medium for Mr. Rukni to tell the story his country's culture, heritage and its achievements.

He believes, Art will help to broaden the views and imagination of youth . He encourages artists from all nationalities to use their talent to represent who they are and where they come from. He became a link that connects the artists and the UAE's art scene.

Today Mr. Rukni has become an integral part of UAE Arts scene, both as an artist and as a chief guest

I wish The PaintBrush Art Community and Namaste India Group all the best for their efforts to promote art and artists. Icons of Art would give plenty of exposure to the artists and highlight their journey
