Fine art birth for "today": I used to see myself as a failure…and the invitation of Counselor Al-Sheikh restored my spirit

The “Birth” confirmed that the invitation of Chancellor Turki Al-Sheikh came at a crucial time to lift him out of retirement isolation and restore his shaky self-confidence, considering that the concern of the Kingdom’s primary entertainment official is a “new birth certificate” for his career.

Al-Sheikh had issued a public invitation through his official accounts to meet “Uncle Ibrahim” upon his return to Riyadh, This was in response to a video clip in which the artist appeared spontaneously lamenting what he had missed with the phrase, “I couldn’t do anything,” which aroused widespread sympathy.

The artist Al-Milad, who transformed the surroundings of his heritage home into a museum of natural art, explained that his weak financial capabilities and the smallness of his pension were a stumbling block in the way of his works reaching the media and artistic space, which deepened his sense of lack of achievement.

The “Milad” known as “Abu” believes Khalil said that this official initiative dissipated the clouds of despair, as he now aspires to make up for what he lost by participating in local and international biennales and exhibitions, using the capital, Riyadh, as a platform for his second venture into the world.

He stressed that his previous description of himself as a “failure” had completely disappeared in the face of this great moral support, which proved to him that the nation does not forget its creators, and that deferred dreams are achievable, no matter how old you get.
