Veiled, Not Hidden by Asad Azizi
This artwork is available for in-person viewing at our gallery. We welcome you to visit and experience its full detail and texture up close. For assistance, please contact Asad on 056 690 3445.
This textile artwork by Asad Azizi is a quiet homage to Emirati women in Burqah, where identity is expressed through gesture, texture, and presence rather than explicit detail.
The figure appears veiled yet grounded, emerging from the surface as soft, rhythmic forms - suggesting dignity, resilience, and continuity across generations.
Subtle embellishments of gold and silver metallic threads move through the composition like whispered histories.
Referencing Talli, the traditional metallic embroidery worn by Emirati women, these shimmering lines carry memory, ceremony, and feminine strength, catching light as they trace paths of heritage across the textile surface.
Through contemporary tufting techniques and ancestral materials, the work becomes a space where past and present meet - where Emirati womanhood is not depicted as static tradition, but as a living, evolving presence woven into the fabric of today.

His signature approach, “Chaos Tufting”, is a distinct and personal style that pushes the boundaries of tufting as an art form.
