DIFOART QATAR, Turkey’s leading art gallery and artwork production centre, recently opened its first exhibition, Essence of Contemporary Turkish Photography, to showcase some of its finest artworks at the prestigious M7 creative hub at Msheireb Downtown.
The exhibition was opened by the Turkish Ambassador to Qatar, HE Mehmet Mustafa Goksu together with a high-level delegation from the Turkish Embassy in Qatar. Also in attendance was the head of Akkas Photography Center Abdullah Al-Musleh, their management team and photographers, along with art connoisseurs, enthusiasts, art collectors, and investors. The exhibition featured world-class photographic art by some of the finest artists from Turkey.
The DIFOART brand was brought to Qatar and the Middle East by Dallah Holding Media, a consortium of media companies that deliver complete creative and innovative media solutions.
Dallah Holding Vice-Chairman Mohamed Rashid Al-Nuaimi said that being part of Qatar’s incredible development towards the 2030 vision, they have expanded their investments and services to support local and international clients in a variety of fields such as hospitality, real estate development, entertainment, cultural, sports and education sectors.
He said that they recognise the emerging art sector in Qatar and the region and believe that the DIFOART production and representation system will help the art sector in Qatar take another step towards unlocking its true potential.
According to CEO Wassim Aldayah, they are celebrating their 40th anniversary this year and are very excited to add another first-in-Qatar listing to their records with partners at DIFOART, a trustworthy brand well rooted in the art sector in Turkey for over 50 years.
Art is recognised as a lucrative and highly respected industry in the world. It has evolved to become part of the business sector due to its economic benefits, but even more (so) because of its cultural effects on developed nations.
DIFOART founder and M7 exhibition curator Coşar Kulaksız said art is the shortest cut from one mind to another and from one heart to another. At DIFOART QATAR, he said they will be happy to serve the audience as the bridge of this shortcut.
Qatar is fast turning into the art and culture hub of the Middle East and there is an increasing demand for more creatives, more talent and more galleries. The beauty of art increases when it is shared, and we are delighted to bring some of our finest works to the appreciative art lovers of Qatar.
