24 Nov: Sara Abou Mrad: A genius of Lebanese painting

Dear readers,

I present to you a Lebanese artist and sculptor who I really like and who deserves real recognition for her work. Her works are inspired by different sources including literature. With her art, Sara transgresses the boundaries of the traditional painting genre to allow her inner projection and her artistic vision to emerge. We are witnessing a rewriting of sensations. Seeing a painting by Sara Abou Mrad is a liberating experience. For a moment, we forget the rules of painting and the codification induced by academicism.

14 Jun: Makanai: Inside Maiko’s kitchen, a heartwarming, finely seasoned series that has aroused our curiosity

Makanai: Inside Maiko’s kitchen, a short series recently released on Netflix, charms us right from the start, immersing us in the traditional Japanese world of the geisha, through the sparkling eyes of two young girls who leave everything behind to travel to Kyoto and discover this art form and their dreams. Hirokazu Kore-eda’s cinematography is realistic, detailed, simple, beautiful and warm.
