The Story behind Rads Design

Riwa Radwan is a self-taught artist whose aim is to translate your emotions, experiences, thoughts, and dreams into a painting to add more beauty and light to your life.

Since Riwa was a child, she had a passion for drawing and painting, specially that her mom, who is an artist, was one of her sources of inspiration. Another reason which led Riwa to become an artist is the school she was enrolled in which gave her many drawing/painting competition opportunities to participate in, and she actually won first and second places. Later, she became close friends with her classmate, Marwa Radwan, who was also interested in painting and calligraphy. So, together, they started to attend calligraphy workshops and summer camps to develop their artistic skills. Their wish was to launch their own business called “Rads” and here they are! They’re also willing to expand their brand by mixing Riwa’s clothing brand “Rads for you” and their calligraphy work together at a later stage.

Here are some reasons why you need to have at least one of Rads Design’s artworks at your place:

-So many default gifts are designed to make a person do something. We’re always obsessed with accomplishments. Did you listen to this album? Did you wear your brand-new clothes? Did you work out today on that new treadmill? When did you give or receive a gift that exists purely to be appreciated, not interacted with or consumed? A great piece of abstract painting prepared by Rads Design doesn’t demand anything from you. Instead, it elicits lots of emotions.

-Rads Design artworks make your home more human; they effortlessly bring life back into your room amongst all of the machine-made items present in your home.

-Life is a journey full of ups and downs and what keeps us going are the people around who make it all worthwhile. While we do not thank these people enough, we must take some time out to tell them how important they are. Many occasions are an opportunity for us to make our loved ones feel special, hence surprise them with a personalized gift which they can cherish forever.

-Observing such paintings/abstract paintings/calligraphy in your room will reduce stress and anxiety, evoke serenity, elect peace within and make you emotionally and mentally stable. You can feel the love, care, time and energy put by Riwa and Marwa to work on all their artworks.

-The person who receives your gift knows that no one else possesses a similar piece.; therefore, it’s infinitely more valuable and meaningful.

-Buying art directly from local artists such as Rads Design will help the local economy slowly thrive, specially that Lebanon is going through very challenging times.
