In Diriyah, Saudi artist Ghada Almuhammadi pays homage to the birthplace of the Saudi state and a symbol of enduring heritage. The artwork captures the essence of the historic city through layered textures, soft earth tones, and patterned collage elements that evoke both the architectural forms and the desert landscape surrounding Diriyah.

Golden hues and organic materials merge with touches of green and deep blue, representing the harmony between the desert’s warmth and the vitality of life. Stylized palm trees shimmer along the base of the composition, their presence grounding the piece in the natural rhythm of Saudi life and resilience.

Through her distinctive mixed-media approach, Almuhammadi transforms memory and geography into visual poetry. Diriyah stands as a celebration of heritage—an intimate reflection on place, history, and the timeless beauty of the Saudi landscape.
