Deena Machina

The other day I stopped by FA Gallery to check out their latest exhibition Without Boundaries by 7 talented young Kuwaiti artists. While walking around the gallery’s space, a group of painting by one Kuwaiti artist has literally stopped me in my tracks. The art pieces had insanely beautiful details, rivaled only by top-notch artists with years and years of experience.  It was impossible not to be impressed by 27 years young Deena “Machina” Qabazard’s work. The details on her art pieces are absolutely unbelievable; she used embroidary and mixed media on paper. They carried certain darkness especially with the use of surreal characters and figures, making her art pieces appear as more on the gothic side. I LOVED her work! Unfortunately for me, the ones that I really really loved were already sold out. Bummer! 

If you find yourself close to Sharq, you can catch “Machina” work at "Without Boundaries" exhibition at FA Gallery located opposite to Amiri Hospital. The exhibition runs until 20th May 2010.

I also loved the below two paintings by a talented Kuwaiti artist Mohammed Ramadhan who focused on the animal world when creating his pieces.

I've been following the "machines" work for a while now...and it only gets better. She can make nightmares beautiful. The texture she creates within her creatures give them feeling and life. Its refreshing to see a young artist with an old soul not afraid to push the boundaries of the art world...or the world in general.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...
