CAIRO: 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.
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."

Otaibi, who
called his exhibition "Arabic Font, taste and spirituality," included
phrases to his paintings in which he praised Allah Almighty. 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. Otaibi said he was displaying
some 35 paintings with different themes. - KUNA
