CAIRO, Oct 16 (KUNA) -- An artist from Kuwait has been showing his pieces of art in an exhibition in Egypt, paintings that displayed beauty of the Arabic calligraphy in new shape.
Art has a key role in enlightening "human soul because it is an intellectual and healing message, which triggers positive energy," Mshebib Al-Otaibi, said.
Al-Otaibi, a professor of art at Kuwait's Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET), said his paintings consisted of Arabic calligraphy "which has many lovers." Al-Otaibi, who called his exhibition "Arabic Font, taste and spirituality," included phrases to his paintings in which he praised Allah the Almighty.
Speaking to KUNA, Al-Otaibi said ancient Egyptians were using "art treatment," a method that could be used now to trigger positive energy and contribute to solving many problems related to drugs and family affairs.
"This thing can be used for a better life," he added.
He said he was looking forward to establishing a school to teach children the art of writing Arabic font.
Al-Otaibi said he was displaying some 35 paintings with different themes. (end) ms.bs
