Commissioned work with Capsule Arts
Diptych artwork for Movenpick Hotel, Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah
For our Movenpick Marjan Island project, we commissioned a diptych relief artwork that reflects the jagged mountain ranges, the sandy deserts, and beaches of Ras Al Khaimah.
In this piece, Banawy uses wood, sand, and mirrors to mimic the RAK landscape, alongside his trademark blue hues.
