Colours, together with their poetic glow, were embodied in artist Abdel Mawla Oweini’s paintings in his exhibition entitled "Spring Festival" hosted by Beirut Arab University in Beirut campus. The event was organized by the Public Relations Administration and was attended by BAU President Professor Amr Galal El-Adawi, BAU Secretary General Dr. Omar Houry, deans, directors, students and a crowd of interested audience.
The exhibition included 13 paintings in which the artist reviewed the communication between the near and the distant in a balanced flow of simplicity, spontaneity and return to the basics of shapes and their visual aesthetics.
After the Lebanese and BAU Anthems, Ms. Rima Chehab opened the event saying, "Beirut Arab University has always been a pioneer in nurturing generations of educated youth and motivating them to develop their culture which, alone, grants them identity and excellence in the future."
President El Adawi praised the artist’s work as it touched our spirit with its varied colours and shapes. El Adawi stressed the fact that “the goal of the cultural season at BAU is to activate the artistic and cultural movement that helps develop arts among the students so they become a part of the cultural season that the university is keen to develop and expand year after year.”
In turn, Artist Oweini thanked BAU, represented by its president, for hosting the exhibition, expressing his happiness and appreciation for the efforts exerted by the university to support culture and the arts.
The exhibition runs until April 25, 2018 from 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. at Al-Moltaqa Forum.
