Renowned for his versatility and innovation, Gulgee's foray into ceramic art represents a captivating departure from his more traditional works in painting and calligraphy. He has masterfully used oils in rich hues of blues, reds, whites, yellows, oranges and blacks to create an aesthetically unique work. The subtle variations in texture add further dimension to the piece, inviting viewers to explore the tile's tactile qualities. Beyond its aesthetic beauty, Gulgee's ceramic tile also carries deeper symbolic significance, serving as a testament to the artist's reverence for tradition and his commitment to preserving and celebrating the cultural heritage of his homeland.
