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?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
