A juxtaposition- I was born & lived my artistic education in France;
a cultural & artistic hub, boasting one of the world’s most
creatively experimental capitals & yet was raised in Kuwait what is
considered to be a late developing nation, with a sleepy & stagnant
fine arts sector. Histoire Urbaines is a series of portraits of a city
that inspired my creative process.
Djinane AlSuwayeh is a Kuwaiti half French Art Director and award-winning & internationally exhibited Photographer.
Specialized in professional Portrait and Still Life Photography in Kuwait and the region, AlSuwayeh's work has been published in VOGUE Arabia, Russia, Spain and Ukraine, Harrods Magazine, and featured online L'Officiel Azerbejan and Vogue Italia.
