Artistic creation for well-being in Oman, Dubai and Abou Dabi

This international project marks a major step in our approach: to make mural art a real tool for indirect care, capable of accompanying patients, families and medical teams in places historically dominated by technicality and neutrality.

Healthcare facilities in the Middle East are distinguished by medical excellence of the highest level. Yet, as in many countries, their interior spaces often remain too white, too standardized, soulless, generating anxiety more than comfort. Our mission was to imagine a visual style capable of transforming these places into territories of appeasement and hospitality, without ever harming the functional requirements of care.

Mural art as the first form of welcome

In a hospital, the first contact is not the doctor: it’s the place.
The entrance hall, the corridor leading to a room, the waiting area before an examination are all moments when emotion precedes the diagnosis. We therefore conceived these frescoes as a silent language of welcome, intended to reassure even before the first word.

Each decoration features a natural and floral poetry, deliberately universal in order to dialogue with the cultural diversity of the Gulf countries. The motif of the ginkgo biloba, a symbol of resilience and longevity, runs through several compositions. Around it are articulated ergonomic geometric shapes, inspired by both contemporary architecture and oriental graphic traditions. The whole creates an aesthetic that is both modern and timeless, capable of being a lasting part of cutting-edge establishments.

Our approach is based on the expertise developed over many years in medico-social and hospital environments:

Hand-drawn frescoes, at the service of people

All the works were made in the form of hand-drawn frescoes, in line. This choice is not only artistic; it is deeply ethical. In a world dominated by medical technology, the manual gesture introduces a tangible human presence. The lines are never perfectly mechanical: they breathe, vibrate, accompany the gaze with softness.

Line drawing also allows great legibility for vulnerable audiences: the elderly, anxious patients, children, families in stressful situations. The compositions avoid any visual overload and favor calm, almost musical rhythms. Art thus becomes an ally of care, discreet but essential.

In the reception halls, the frescoes play a role of threshold. They welcome, orient, and create an atmosphere. In the circulations, they transform the long corridors into narrative paths, where each step is part of a reassuring graphic landscape. In living rooms and common areas, they offer visual anchors for conversation and rest.

A response to a major challenge: humanizing spaces that are too neutral

The future hospitals in Oman, Dubai and Abu Dhabi have spectacular architecture, but their interiors often risk replicating a standardised international model. Our intervention aims to break with this neutrality to create places that convey identity and meaning.

The objective is not decorative in the superficial sense. The aim is to make a concrete contribution to the well-being of patients : reducing anxiety before a consultation, softening the wait for a family, offering caregivers an environment that is more respectful of their daily commitment. Numerous studies show the direct impact of the visual environment on the perception of pain and stress. Our approach is fully in line with this vision of global care.

The messages of comfort integrated into the frescoes were thought of as benevolent whispers rather than injunctions. A few simple words, translated according to linguistic contexts, accompany the gaze without imposing themselves. They remind us that the hospital can be a place of humanity as well as of technicality.

An aesthetic adapted to the cultures of the Gulf

Working for Oman, Dubai and Abu Dhabi involves paying close attention to cultural codes. The compositions have been developed to dialogue with the intense light of these regions, with the mineral materials of the local architectures and with an aesthetic sensibility specific to the Arab world.

The geometric shapes are discreetly inspired by traditional patterns, without ever falling into pastiche. The plants evoke oases and interior gardens, symbols of freshness and life in the heart of the desert. This hybridization between international modernity and local references allows the frescoes to become real cultural bridges.

Our artistic creation approach is based on in-depth studio work:

Spaces designed as an experience trail

The intervention is not limited to putting images on walls. It is part of a global reflection on the patient’s journey. From the car park to the reception, from the waiting room to the room, each step was considered as an emotional sequence.

The frescoes dialogue with the architecture, the signage, the furniture and the light. They structure volumes, soften angles, accompany flows. The visitor is no longer confronted with a succession of technical areas but with a coherent, almost narrative path.

This approach is in line with our conception of design as an experience:

A creation compatible with hospital requirements

Intervening in hospitals requires absolute rigour. The materials, paints and installation processes have been selected to meet international health standards: resistance to disinfection, absence of harmful emissions, compatibility with hygiene protocols. The frescoes are designed to last without alteration, even in highly stressed environments.

This technical requirement has never limited artistic freedom; On the contrary, it has oriented it towards innovative and responsible solutions. The wall art here proves that it can be integrated into the most advanced medical infrastructures.

Towards a new vision of the hospital in the Gulf

The Gulf countries are investing massively in health. They build some of the most efficient hospitals in the world. With this project, we want to contribute to a further step: to make these establishments not only places of medical excellence, but also places of human hospitality.

Our frescoes do not claim to heal. They offer something else: a breath, a presence, an inner landscape capable of accompanying difficult moments. They remind us that care sometimes begins with what we see, even before what we hear.

Art as a partner in care

This creation for Oman, Dubai and Abu Dhabi affirms a deep conviction: the hospital of the future will be technological and poetic, scientific and sensitive. Contemporary wall decorations and hand-drawn frescoes under the direction of Franck Blériot (FBL Artist) can play a decisive role in this transformation.

By making entrance halls more welcoming, circulation smoother, rooms more human, we contribute to a broader vision of health. A hospital is not only a place where bodies are repaired; It is a space where we accompany lives.

These projects in the Gulf countries open up a new path: that of an international mural art, respectful of cultures, committed alongside caregivers and patients, so that each place of care becomes first and foremost a place of humanity.
