I whisper vibrant tales of beauty in diversity against monochromatic silences. 

“A Symphony of Shadows & Light,” is the outcome of a unique collaboration that seamlessly blends Bechara’s narrative with kanvas’ innovative technology, offering visitors an unparalleled art experience. The exhibition will showcase Bechara’s artistic journey spanning over 15 years in the United Arab Emirates. The show will take place at kanvas, located in Al Khayat Avenue, from February 22nd to March 22nd, 2024, coinciding with the 17th edition of Art Dubai. 

The exhibition, animated by motion designer Viktor Lukacs and set against curated soundtracks by renowned contemporary composer Balazs Havasi, will be divided into five captivating chapters, each offering a canvas of emotions derived from the artist’s personal story, which promises to resonate with the life stories of the viewers: 

Chapter 1: “Genesis of Passion” Exploring the emergence of creativity within Kristel Bechara’s personal world, driven by her emotions and the transient beauty of life, from the depths of the abyss to the fleeting moments of a beating heart. 
 
Chapter 2: “Celebration of Life” Capturing moments of joy, growth, and celebration inspired by Greek mythology, a theme deeply rooted in Bechara’s paintings, which visually narrate these timeless tales in a contemporary context. 
Chapter 3: “Voice and Vulnerability” Celebrating ‘beauty in diversity’ through the portrayal of various female characters symbolising equality, empowerment, and autonomy. 

 

Chapter 4: “Strength in Struggles” Departing from the norm of predominantly male explorers, this chapter depicts a female explorer, “The Voyageur,” who challenges conventional narratives. An adventurous traveller, who lives beyond the fear of the unknown and navigates fantastical places from the past through the present and into the future. 

 

Chapter 5: “Imaginarium” Raising the curtain to invite viewers to contemplate and explore their own creative journeys through landscapes and stories of their own.  

 

To commemorate this occasion, Kristel Bechara has created “A Symphony of Shadows & Light Mini Series: Fragments of An Artistic Odyssey,” featuring 16 original acrylics on canvas pieces, intricately derived from her larger works. Each piece stands as a testament to Bechara’s meticulous attention to detail and her mastery of color and form.  

 

Each piece in “Essence Fragments” stands as a testament to Bechara’s meticulous attention to detail and her mastery of color and form. These paintings, though small in size, are rich in storytelling, encapsulating the essence of the emotions, themes, and artistic journeys found in her larger works. This series invites viewers to travel deeper into the nuances of Bechara’s art, providing a personal, tactile connection to her retrospective journey. 

 

For collectors and enthusiasts, “Essence Fragments” presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Bechara’s art history – a snapshot of her creative process and a glimpse into the soul of her larger canvases. 

 

Additionally, the exhibition marks the launch of her inaugural sculpture. Collaborating with Emirati ceramist Shaima Ahli, Bechara has brought to life her iconic “Pandora’s Box,” using pure clay – an integral material in ancient Greek culture. The sculpture has travelled from Dammam to Dubai for display at kanvas and will subsequently be adorned with Bechara’s signature patterns and colours. 

 

“A Symphony of Shadows & Light” exhibition will be open to the public from February 22nd until March 22nd, Monday to Friday, 10AM to 6PM, with an opportunity to meet the artist every Tuesday.
