AMMAN — To honour her father Abdul Elah Malhas — a Jordanian artist, architect, inventor and nature lover — Farah Malhas is organising a 10-day exhibition of paintings to mark the second anniversary of his death.

The exhibition, which opens on Friday at 8pm, will showcase 63 paintings by the late artist at Zara Centre in Amman’s Wadi Saqra area.

“I chose 63 pieces because he was 63 years old when he died,” Farah told The Jordan Times on Wednesday.

Part of the exhibition’s proceeds will go to the King Hussein Cancer Centre.

Malhas invented reusable envelopes called “multilopes” that earned him several awards in Switzerland and Germany during the 1990s, according to his daughter.

“If you believe in something, just do it.

This was his motto,” she said.
