With his roots in the international advertising world, ART NOOR broke away from his highly successful corporate career in adverting in 2002 to dedicate his time to art, and more particularly all topics relatedto God, and Love. After two intense years of practice, he held his first solo exhibition 2004, followed by two more exhibitions in 2008 and 2009. Art Noor continued working on the subject of ‘99 Names of Allah’, culminating in the publication of his book on the subject and an extensive solo exhibition at the World Trade Centre, Abu Dhabi. In the beginning of 2015, Art Noor held another exhibition called ‘Ruminiscence’ introducing a new series of works based on the love poetry by Maulana Jalal Uddin Rumi. His latest works both from the 99 Names of Allah and the Ruminiscence series will be exhibited in his upcoming exhibition.

His artworks are universal and captivating in many ways”
