ISTANBUL, July 26: Kuwaiti artist Sabah Asad on Thursday expressed his great happiness and pride in representing the State of Kuwait at international forums and raising its flag among nations. His statement came during the opening of the 26th edition of the International Buyukcekmece Arts, Culture and Handicrafts Festival in Istanbul, with Kuwait participating alongside 32 countries from around the world. “I am a visual artist who specializes in one of the rare branches of visual arts – the art of sculpture and engraving on eggshells – which is considered unfamiliar in our Arab societies,” Asad told KUNA.
He added that he has received invitations to participate in many international exhibitions in countries such as China, Uzbekistan, Italy, Britain, and the Gulf states, noting that he has received international awards, including the title of “International Sculptor” from the People’s Republic of China. The Kuwaiti pavilion at the festival, as in other art events, featured unique works by Sabah Asad, who sculpted and engraved eggshells. His creations won the admiration of visitors and some Turkish media outlets, as well as the approval of the festival’s organizing committee. (KUNA)
