By Faten Omar

The “Story of a Letter” art exhibition, showcasing the work of Kuwaiti artist Shaima Ashkanani, was held on Tuesday at Four Seasons Hotel. The two-day event featured 24 unique pieces, including paintings, custom-designed furniture and large-scale lighting installations.

Speaking with Kuwait Times, Ashkanani explained that the exhibition’s title reflects the idea that every artwork carries a story. Her stunning collection combines visual artistry with functional design, including hand-painted furniture and intricately crafted lighting pieces.

Ashkanani emphasized that each piece in the exhibition tells its own story, capturing a journey of creativity and emotion — from moments of joy to periods of introspection. She highlighted that art serves as her medium for communication, allowing her to express and connect with others on a deeper level.
