RIYADH: At the lavish first edition of the Saudi Cup this past weekend in Riyadh, there was something that many attendees had not anticipated: Contemporary art and fashion.
For the world鈥檚 richest horse race 鈥� and one that has effectively put Saudi on the map for world-class sporting events 鈥� to host live artists and fashion designers has surprised many.

The Saudi Art Association and the Ministry of Culture staged live art events, including a digital caricaturist, calligrapher and two live Saudi painters, Fahad Al-Ammar and Basmah Alyami.

鈥淭his is the second year that I come here to paint and I am painting mostly horses for the occasion of the races,鈥� said Alyami. 鈥淧eople in Saudi love horses but I also paint portraits of men, women and families.鈥�
Salwa Abuljadayel, a communications specialist, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 all about art these day in Saudi.鈥�
In support of that statement, the weekend showcased a range of live traditional Saudi performances coupled with breakdancing, performances of 鈥淕rease Lighting,鈥� stilt dancers and even comedy acts with jugglers and acrobats.

Another artist, Roksanda Ciurysek-Gedir, displayed two abstract works depicting natural areas in 抖阴短视频 such as the Farasan Islands rendered in digital ink print on a brushed aluminium box with 300 hand-encrusted diamonds and a 24-carat gold leaf.
