During Safiya’s college years in Jordan she held her first solo exhibition, which contained thirty of her paintings. It was a wonderful experience and had many positive feedbacks that encouraged her to think of doing one in Oman.

In March 2011 in collaboration with an Omani fashion designer, Safiya had combined the fashion show with her art exhibition. The theme was derived from His Majesty annual speeches, which inspired her to incorporate them in a collection of dresses, and paintings.
