Quick answer: Jyo John Mulloor is a Dubai-based digital artist and art director whose prints take images everyone in the UAE recognises, such as the Dubai skyline, the Metro, a falcon or the Mona Lisa, and put them in situations they never appear in, such as snow. Eight of his works are in the Tashkeel shop as digital prints on HahnemΓΌhle Photo Rag paper, 52 Γ 65 cm, unframed, at AED 500 each. A sketchbook with his Arab Mona Lisa on the cover costs AED 75.
Who is Jyo John Mulloor?
His artist page describes him as a digital artist and art director who believes a simple, powerful visual is worth more than a thousand words. His Tashkeel profile adds that he has worked as a graphic artist and retoucher for global and regional brands.
He lives in Dubai. Premium Dubai reported in 2022 that he moved to the city in 2006 and works in advertising. That background shows in the prints: they are built like strong single images, made to be read in a second.
What does it mean to re-imagine a familiar image?
Some images are so familiar that we stop looking at them: a skyline seen every day from the car, a painting reproduced on mugs and fridge magnets, a toy everyone knows. Digital art can take that image and change one thing about it, such as the weather, the setting or the material, so that it has to be looked at again.
Jyo John Mulloor's prints work in this way. The titles tell you the starting point and the twist:
- A place with the wrong weather. Dubai Snow shows the city under snow.
- A famous painting moved to the region. Arab Mona Lisa takes one of the most reproduced paintings in the world as its subject.
- A global toy in a local setting. Barbie comes to Dubai and Barbie on the Metro bring the doll into the city and onto its public transport.
- A national symbol in a new material. Falcon Inflatable pairs the falcon, a familiar UAE symbol, with the idea of an inflatable.
The product pages give the title, paper and size of each print but do not describe the artist's intentions, so we won't guess at them here. The best way to judge them is to look at the images on each page.
How was Dubai Snow made?
Dubai Snow was created with AI tools, the Tashkeel team confirms. The same is true of the Arab Mona Lisa design: its sketchbook page describes the cover as AI-generated artwork by Jyo John Mulloor. In both cases the idea, the choice of subject and the final image are his; the print pages in the shop give the paper and size, so check them for the details of each work.

Are these prints a good choice for a home or office?
They suit people who like images with a point and a sense of humour. A few practical things to know:
- Paper. Every print is on HahnemΓΌhle Photo Rag 308 gsm. Our guide to print papers, framing and care explains what to expect.
- Framing. The prints arrive unframed, so allow for a frame at 52 Γ 65 cm when you measure the wall.
- Hanging as a set. Because they share one size and paper, two or three hang well together, for example the two Barbie works side by side, or Dubai Snow with Barbie on the Metro as a pair of city scenes.
- A small gift. The Arab Mona Lisa Sketchbook is a lower-cost way into his work.
