BBC StoryWorks writes about the remarkable rise of the creative industry in the Emirates, with artist Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim being a pioneer in UAE's homegrown art scene.
"While the design boom has transformed the gleaming buildings of metropolitan Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the Emirates' creative spirit was sparked long before the advent of modern architecture.
In the late 1980s, the UAE's avant-garde produced its first generation of globally recognised artists. This pioneering group includes the prolific Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim."
