Dubai, 18th January – Bestune, a prestigious brand from the FAW Group, proudly commemorated the 70th anniversary of FAW at it’s Bestune showroom on the Shiekh Zayed Road. In front of a high profile audience of numerous media houses, VIPs, art patrons, industry veterans, and influencers, artists from across the UAE were invited to showcase their artistic talents.
The event merged the world of art with Bestune’s artistic design concept applied to each of the Bestune cars and SUVs in the Bestune range. Headlining the event was Bestune’s flagship SUV, the T99, beautifully transformed through the world of Arabic calligraphy by Rubab Zahra. Rubab captured the essence of Bestune using phrases such as “Drive your Senses” and “Start a new Journey”.
A huge mural painted live during the event by the talented artist Snehita dominated the Bestune showroom. The mural, creatively concepted by Magzoid Magazine reflects on FAWs seventy years of progress. From becoming the first to mass produce vehicles in China to producing over four million high ends cars, trucks and buses annually, FAW are now one of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers and listed as a Fortune 500 company.
