With the warm breeze that emerged with Spring, came Mathaq; the event that proved itself to be like no other. It was held at Algosaibi village from the 22nd of March until the 25th, and was extended until the 26th due to its overwhelming success. The contradiction between the mixture of staff available at the event created a diverse setting, attracting people all around Shargiyah to attend. From cooks, to artists, to entrepreneurs, to photographers, Mathaq insured the contrariety and variance in not only its staff, but its crowd as well that enjoyed the event whether they were children or adults.
It was truly an overwhelmingly exquisite experience to catch sight of the pieces of art presented at the event. Unenthusiastic was not a word the artists knew, as they exuberantly exhibited their art for the visitors to see, not giving blasé a fortuitous chance. With development being their goal, we are sure that local artists will continue to flourish and thrive. Be sure to view our favorite art pieces attached above!

She explained to us that her idea behind the gallery was that at different lightings the paintings would show in a certain way. When in the dark, the paintings would be seen completely different compared to how it was shown in the light. Her main reason behind this was to emphasize how most of us are all living a lie and not everything we see is a hundred percent true. Thus, in the dark, the underlying paint appears with a different concept. Also, she would only keep the paintings in the dark for a short while, and the goal of that is to explain how not everyone sees the truth only the people that lived through that certain experience can truly understand what’s going on. Plus, the gallery has birds and nests, the birds represent us, the humans. Since she sees that birds and people are quite similar and that all these borders and checkpoints are what changed us from the nature of birds. Lastly, every painting is describing a different story and the names of all these paintings are the keys of the topics she was talking about in each piece. Make sure to check it out before it's over!
