METAMORPHOSIS I 1996

"METAMORPHOSIS I," a 1996 work by Bahraini artist Rashid Al Khalifa (1952-present), is a vibrant abstract oil painting. The work displays a bouquet of abstract flowers in a vase with a striking blue background. The flowers appear to be blooming and floating in the air, with thick strokes of paint depicting the blossoming forms. The viewer can see a swirling, almost organic movement in this artwork. The use of bold colours and expressive brushstrokes creates a dynamic and energetic feel, making the piece a captivating and intriguing example of abstract art.
