Abstract
The image is the essence of visual arts, with its high-level dialogue and expressive language, presented to the recipient and the viewer. Whether it is a regular image, an artistic image, or a digital image, it has a role in transferring knowledge and events and spreads cultural and heritage awareness among different people. The image helps human think of thoughts in producing new concepts in order to enrich the mind with different sciences. Integrated symbols, forms, and intellectual relationships that carry experiences and events have a major role in preserving the intellectual and cultural heritage that surrounds the individual. And in light of globalization, which employs the image in the possibilities of art in its various schools, it has granted the amazing development in the connotations and symbols that the artist and photographer wish to reach the recipient in terms of cultural and cognitive thought. Through this research, we monitor the role of the Omani artist through the visual arts in communicating with the local and global community through the cultural connotations and symbols that the artist presents in his/her works through what presents a culture and legacy linked to the Omani society. Also, this research explains the role of the artistic image in consolidating material culture and the non-material in the Sultanate of Oman to the next generation and its consolidation in the mental thought through the data, indications and symbols that it provides from culture and heritage.
