About the Artist
Born and raised in Muscat, Salim Al Salami developed a deep appreciation for Oman's architectural beauty from an early age. His watercolor paintings reflect a lifelong passion for preserving and celebrating the nation's cultural heritage through art.
Salim's artistic journey began with traditional painting techniques, but he found his true voice in watercolor—a medium that allows him to capture the luminous quality of Omani light and the fluid beauty of the country's landscapes and buildings.
His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions across the Gulf region, and his paintings are held in private collections internationally. Salim continues to explore new ways of representing Omani heritage, blending traditional subjects with contemporary watercolor techniques.
Through his art, Salim aims to create a visual dialogue between past and present, inviting viewers to see familiar Omani scenes with fresh eyes and renewed appreciation.
"Watercolor allows me to capture the soul of Oman—the way light dances on ancient walls, the vibrant colors of our markets, and the serene beauty of our coastal villages. Each brushstroke is a celebration of our heritage."
