The painting is part of a series dedicated to inspirational women of the UAE. The patterns used in the series are inspired by their culture, and they are designed to honor their identity and their achievements. This specific painting is of Sheikha Mozah Al Maktoum, the first Dubai royal female pilot, UAE’s first female commercial pilot, and the first woman to be appointed First Lieutenant Pilot of the Dubai Police Air Wing.
The patterns adorning her symbolize the design embroidered on her pilot uniforms. They are designed to imitate Al-Sadu embroidery, which is a traditional Emirati embroidery style.
