Alhaz GK Mushahid, an artist, inventor, and researcher, has created a portrait of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, widely known as the “Father of the Nation of the UAE,” to honour his historic role in the establishment and development of the United Arab Emirates.
Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was the founding father and first President of the United Arab Emirates. Through his vision, leadership, and dedication, he played a central role in uniting the seven emirates and establishing the foundations of a modern, prosperous, and peaceful nation.
His contributions to education, healthcare, infrastructure, environmental protection, and public welfare remain an important part of the UAE’s history and national identity. His legacy continues to be remembered by the people of the Emirates and beyond.
Through his innovative artwork on Real Thin-Tailed Sheepskin, Alhaz GK Mushahid is creating portraits of remarkable personalities from around the world. His aim is to preserve their memories, achievements, and contributions so that future generations can continue to learn about and remember them.
The sheepskin canvas, developed through his research, is designed for exceptional durability and the potential to preserve artworks for thousands of years under suitable conditions. This distinctive medium offers a unique way to preserve important portraits and historical memories for the future.
Through this portrait, titled “The Father of the Nation of the UAE,” Alhaz GK Mushahid seeks to honour Sheikh Zayed’s historic contribution and preserve his image and legacy for generations to come.
For Alhaz GK Mushahid, art is more than creativity—it is a way to preserve history, honour great personalities, and carry their legacies into the future.
