SEOUL, May 12, 2009 (WAM) -- Mrs. Aida Benjemia Al-Ma'ainah, wife of UAE Ambassador to Seoul Abdulla Mohammed Al-Ma'ainah, unleashed her artistic vision again on May 11 with her unique flower arrangement art work entitled I Love Korea" at Koreas most prestigious and oldest annual flower arrangement exhibition.
The event was to celebrate the Im Wha Kong Flower Arrangement Society's 79th Flower Arrangement Exhibition, 2009 which boasted traditional Korean art mixed with a foreign flare and provided attendees with a fascinating art world of traditional Korean flower arrangement. Over 400 people came to offer their support for one of South Korea's oldest forms of expression. Ambassadors, their better halves, and other VIPs involved in the art scene were there in force enjoying the visual infusion of culture and tradition. Mrs. Al-Ma'ainah is no stranger to the art scene in Seoul as she has participated in the show for the fourth year in a row to offer Korean flower artists to get "a feel of the elements of the UAE mixed with a South Korean flavor." Her imagination combined with Arabic feeling of the desert was well expressed in her work to create her own genre of flower art, Ms. Kim Won-sook, one of leading critics of Korean flower arts commented. --BI/SA--Copyright Emirates News Agency (WAM) 2009.
