ISTANBUL: Kuwaiti artist Sabah Asad expressed his great happiness and pride in representing the State of Kuwait in international forums and raising its flag among nations. His statement came during the launch of the 26th edition of the “Büyükçekmece International Arts, Culture and Handicrafts Festival” in Istanbul on July 24 with the participation of Kuwait along with 32 countries from around the world.
“I am a visual artist who specializes in one of the rare branches of visual arts, which is the art of sculpture and engraving on eggshells – which is considered an unfamiliar art in our Arab societies,” Sabah Asad told KUNA.
He added that he “received invitations to participate in many international exhibitions in countries such as China, Uzbekistan, Italy, Britain and the Gulf states, noting that he won international awards, including the title of “International Sculptor” from the People’s Republic of China.” The Kuwaiti pavilion at the festival, as usual in artistic forums, displayed unique artistic masterpieces. The works of artist Sabah Asad in the field of sculpture and engraving on eggshells won the admiration of visitors and some Turkish media outlets, as well as the approval of the festival’s organizing committee. — KUNA
