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.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

Sephora Opening Soon At The Avenues II

Beauty Junkies rejoice! The famous retailer of perfumes and cosmetics and the leading beauty chain in Europe and US, Sephora , will be opening soon at The Avenues Phase II. Personally, I like Sephora not only because of its tempting cosmetic selection, but mainly because I don't feel pressured by sales associates to buy stuff that I don't really need. I can actually touch and try the products without having the sales associate stalking me around and giving me some unnecessary comments about my skin/make-up. I think Sephora will make it big here if it sells its high-end cosmetics which are unavailable at other beauty stores/pharmacies in Kuwait. Does anyone have any product recommendations or favorites?
