DUBAI - Sep 30, 2024 - Renowned Australian surrealist Charles Billich, whose masterpieces have adorned the walls of the White House, the United Nations, and the residences of royal families around the world, may soon embark on what could be his final royal portrait. With a career that has seen him capture the likeness of historic figures such as Pope John Paul II and Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop, Billich now faces a decision that will resonate with history.

In a fitting close to his legacy of painting global leaders, Billich is set to create one last royal portrait. The question remains: will the subject be His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, whose vision has reshaped the kingdom's role on the world stage, or His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and President of the United Arab Emirates, a leader admired for his profound contributions to peace and development in the region?

As both princes play pivotal roles in shaping the future of the Gulf and the wider world, the decision on who will grace Billich's final royal canvas carries a weight of historical significance. The art world, and indeed the global community, eagerly awaits the announcement.

Billich, renowned for his surrealist style, has painted some of the most influential figures of our era, from royalty to world leaders, celebrities, and sports icons. His portraits span across a variety of fields, capturing the essence of figures like King George Tupou V of Tonga, Prince Albert of Monaco, Audrey Hepburn, Pope John Paul II, David Beckham, and Hugh Hefner, among many others. Each portrait reflects Billich's unique ability to blend the real and the surreal, immortalizing these prominent figures in his distinctive artistic vision.

In a recent interview, Billich expressed his desire to paint Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the UAE's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. This would add to his remarkable portfolio of royal and political figures, including the likes of George Bush, Boris Johnson, and former Australian Prime Minister John Howard. His previous works include portraits of sports legends like Ian Thorpe and Greg Norman, as well as cultural icons like Sophia Loren, Maria Callas, and Tony Bennett.

Billich's work is known for its vibrant, dreamlike quality, blending the grandeur of his subjects with a deeply imaginative approach. Whether depicting political leaders, sports champions, or Hollywood stars, his art transcends mere representation, offering a deeper, more surreal interpretation of the people who shape our world. As the world eagerly awaits his next portrait, many wonder who the surrealist great will immortalize next.
