Within its efforts to encourage local talents and promote cultural and artistic ties between Bahrain and Germany, the German Orthopaedic Hospital has launched the “Artist of the Season” Art Exhibition at its headquarters in the Salmaniya area.
The exhibition highlighted variety of works by Bahraini artist Leena Al Ayoobi. The exhibition of Ms. Ayoobi’s works follows her selection as the artist of the season for autumn by the German Orthopaedic Hospital, as part of its efforts to support and encourage local artists.
Ms. Leena Al Ayoobi is a Bahraini artist and designer (founder and owner of Dar Alfann) and a member of the Bahrain Art Society. Her artwork is influenced by her Arabian culture and traditions with a touch of Japanese manga art style, as she has been influenced by manga art since childhood.
Commenting on the initiative, Dr Heiner Abel, Chief Executive Officer of the hospital, said: “The German Orthopaedic Hospital is delighted to be associated with Leena and her wonderful, colourful artwork, and we believe that it will add some liveliness and “Arabesque” flair to our European-style hospital for the next few months. It also serves to highlight the strong bonds between Bahrain and Germany.”
