Dr. Hanaa Abdulrahman Al-Mulla, Secretary-General of the Kuwait Association for Plastic Arts, confirmed that the exhibition “The Ancient Marine Environment,” scheduled to open on the evening of next Wednesday, under the patronage and attendance of Qusay Ibrahim Al-Shatti, an honorary member of the association, comes within the framework of the association’s commitment to highlighting Kuwait’s authentic heritage and strengthening its presence in the contemporary visual arts scene.
Al-Mulla explained in a statement to “Al-Rai” that the exhibition features 50 artists, whose works vary in style and artistic approaches to the ancient marine environment. Each artist presents a unique vision through diverse plastic treatments that blend authenticity with contemporaneity, reflecting the richness of Kuwait’s artistic experience and the diversity of its creative perspectives.
She added that “the sea was not merely a source of livelihood for Kuwaitis, but an integral part of their identity and collective memory, embodying values of patience, struggle, and cooperation.”
