Murals from our walk around Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar, from our trip to Doha in December 2024.
This impressive whale shark mural by Argentine artist Martin Ron - "Ocean in the sky" - is located in Building 41.
Described as one of the best muralists in the world, Ron has to his credit two iconic murals both in Katara Cultural Village – a figure of the Oryx and the Whale Shark.
This mural raises awareness of the importance of protecting the marine environment from the dangers of pollution, with the whale shark ascending to the surface of the sea where it is confronted by plastic bags.
Neat whale! I also like the corner-mounted cube sculpture. We have a similar one here in Michigan that is at least 60 years old.It pivots around the mounting, and kids love it.

DeleteThis is a powerful and beautifully executed mural. Martin Ron’s ability to blend artistry with a meaningful environmental message is truly commendable. The depiction of the whale shark rising through the water, only to face pollution, offers a strong reminder of our responsibility to protect marine life. Thank you for sharing this remarkable piece.

DeleteMartin Ron’s whale shark mural is both visually striking and deeply meaningful. The contrast between the beauty of the creature and the threat of pollution is powerfully portrayed. It's a reminder of the impact art can have in raising awareness and stirring reflection.

DeleteI love the whale shark - we swam with them a few years back. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful. I saw them when we visited the Philippines, but I didn't go in the water, just the rest of the family.
DeleteExcellent murals. There is way too much plastic used in packaging.
ReplyDeleteThere sure is, thanks Linda
DeleteI especially love the fish mural. Or rather, the shark. Striking.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful isn't it? Thanks Jeanie.
