The exhibition is open from 11am to 8pm and has around 60 artworks, including one sculpture.
Artist Swapnil Jawale, who had made a portrait of the late Sheikh Zayed using pointillism technique (using dots), said: "My artwork shows the late Sheikh Zayed, who had a natural disposition for tolerance, genuineness and concern for others. "
Algergawi said he was immersed in the individual creativity and talent of the artists. "Through streams of colours that form fusions of stories on canvas, with each piece telling a unique story, an environment of holistic tolerance and diversity exudes throughout the exhibit space."
He added that as he toured the exhibition, he noticed that each artwork reflected the ethnic character and background of the artists and their nationalities.
