Artist to Inspire - Omar Al Gurg

THROUGH THE LENS OF KILIMANJARO - AN EMIRATI ARTIST'S DIALOGUE WITH NATURE Omar Al Gurg | Photographer | Artist | Designer | UAE Omar Al Gurg (b. 1995, UAE) is a Dubai-born artist whose photographic practice is shaped by a lifelong engagement with the medium. Raised in a family of photographers, Al Gurg began developing film and capturing images from an early age, cultivating a self-taught approach that privileges observation and attentiveness. His early subjects – nature and strangers encountered in daily life – reflect a quiet curiosity and sensitivity to the world around him. For Al Gurg, photography is a meditative practice, distinct from his background in design, yet both disciplines inform his creative outlook. His images are marked by a deliberate focus on detail and atmosphere, often pausing to document fleeting moments of light, resilience, and transformation within the landscape.
