ABDUL RAUF draws images from his mind and his dreams. His art becomes his means of expression where he gets inspired by challenges in life which drive him to portray his emotions through his paintings. That dream of the woman collecting sea shells at the beach not only led him to use oil paint but also rendered the female a key figure in his work.However, the subject matter of his paintings concentrated on the traditions and symbols of the Emirati culture, portrayed through its distinct architectural heritage, its natural environment of palms, flowers and birds and the familiar day-to-day objects such as the traditional Emirati coffeepot. His style is marked by simplifying the objects he sees, hence, they appear as pictograms, symbols or signs. In his paintings there are predominantly three main elements within three rectangles: a man, a girl and a bird.
