However, women have been able to create artistic works in which all its colors and tools have been inspired from nature and the surrounding environment. The women’s artistic works of painting have directly contributed in bringing about a taste of the past heritage. The women artists have gone beyond national and regional boundaries as they achieved a great success in the Asiri wall decoration which is called locally as "Al-Qatt Al-Asiri" as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) announced in December 2018 to add "Al-Qatt Al-Asiri" art to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This art is not coincidental or it is born of the moment of the day, but it originated for many years and it is more than hundreds of years. Aseer with its natural culture is aware of its concept and its details. The best evidence of this is the houses of the old and the new ones, which still witness their ruins, creations that are shaped in paintings and murals with engravings and attractive colors created by women of Asir.
