(Ref No 412)

In “Gate of the Old City,” Mohamed Tourq captures the living rhythm of traditional Arabian urban life. The painting depicts men and women passing through an ancient gateway — a symbol of both community and continuity. The scene, rendered in warm desert hues of ochre, sienna, and gold, reflects the artist’s deep engagement with heritage and place.

Tourq’s fluid brushwork and expressive silhouettes transform architecture into memory. The layered geometry of old buildings, the archway’s curve, and the subtle interplay of shadow and light all suggest the timeless pulse of markets, gatherings, and human connection. Through abstraction and warmth, the work becomes a homage to cultural identity and the spirit of Arab cities that bridge past and present.
