Mayline restaurant was the venue for ‘’La Corrida De Mi Vida’’, ‘’Essencia Animal”, an art exhibition by Juliana El-Haddad that was inaugurated on Saturday, April 29th, 2017.
The show, running from April 30th to May 31st, 2017, features the most celebrated masterpieces and works of this passionate and ambitious artist.
Always keen to ensure a generous hospitality and an elegant ambiance, Mayline hosted Juliana El-Haddad’s first solo exhibition.
Juliana’s paintings are not merely colorful compositions; they convey a strong message that denounces the architecture of concrete and the lack of greenery within the city. The Bull, omnipresent in her work, discretely portrays the tool through which she also paints family, love and life.
