The Sculptor

A Kuwaiti sculptor working in bas-relief and bronze — modelling the human face with classical precision, and returning to it a subject the discipline long set aside: the depiction of greatness.

The Series

Heirs of Fire

A pantheon in bronze of the minds that shaped civilisation — cast to return greatness to view.

Not nostalgia, but conviction: that greatness is a matter of will, belonging to no single people or century. Each face is drawn out of the wall in bronze — a reminder that the fire was never extinguished, only set down.
