Studio Visit: Saif Mhaisen

A visit with Saif Mhaisen, a Dubai-based artist working primarily in charcoal drawing and large-scale oil painting. Mhaisen’s practice is rooted in slow observation, creating portraits shaped by community, presence, and lived experience. Through an intimate look at his process and current projects, this visit invites participants to connect with the artist’s approach to portraiture and the quiet intensity of looking closely. Part of the Dubai Collection Nights programme.
