Galeries Lafayette Doha set to celebrate QND

Galeries Lafayette Doha is all set to celebrate Qatar National Day (QND) in its own style, "commemorating the greatness of the nation".

On December 1, the department store inaugurated specially dressed windows that emanate the pride that Qatar National Day entails.

For this occasion, Galeries Lafayette Doha once again collaborated with local Qatari artists Fahad al-Maadheed and Nasser Alkubaisi to create exclusive visuals to adorn the store.

The artists created exclusive lines of artwork to offer a captivating experience for visitors at Galeries Lafayette Doha, setting the right tone for the celebrations.

While al-Maadheed is already well-known for his art, including for his paintings on leather goods such as handbags, wallets and phone covers, Alkubaisi is a new star on the horizon.

An interior designer and a digital artist, Alkubaisi has received a lot of attention, with his works found in different public spaces and at the National Museum Gift Shop.

Al-Maadheed's art installations aim to strengthen the national identity by harkening back to the past.

 

"His work embodies those who built and defended the land since historic times,” a statement noted. “The window takes us back in time, and the spirit of the past and present converges through art.”
