Watercolor on Paper Painting by:

Hussien Merghani:

Hussein Merghani's watercolor masterfully captures a quintessential Sudanese street scene, featuring a man in flowing white traditional dress walking past characteristic architecture. The focal point—a vibrant blue metal door adorned with geometric patterns—stands against warm ochre walls, while lush green foliage creates natural contrast. Merghani's expert brushwork renders the interplay of light and shadow on sun-baked surfaces, celebrating the everyday beauty of Sudanese urban life with atmospheric depth and cultural authenticity.
