Makarem Ajyad 5 Star Hotel

Much like our homes, the artwork at a hotel is an important decision as it creates an emotional experience for guests.
By the mercy of Allah, my art is installed throughout this luxury hotel, steps from the Holy Kaaba.

At His service.
The last time I visited the holy land, it felt like a dream. I saved every bit to make this Umrah trip possible with my parents. I remember walking through the hallways and imagining my art there. I had no connections, nor any gallery representation so, from a realistic standpoint, it seemed far-fetched. But nothing is impossible for Allah, I thought.
This year marks 10 years of my artistic journey. This experience has taught me the power of dua and what's possible when we ask with certainty. Who are we to doubt the wisdom or capacity of our creator?
The paintings you welcome into your home can now be spotted at this hotel, across the holy Kaaba. Alhumdulillah!
