In honor of the national holidays, Deliveroo Kuwait collaborated with local artist Abrar Zenkawi to create a unique illustration that celebrates everything we know and love about Kuwait: great food, and a beautiful country so many of us are lucky to call home!
The illustration, which features a Deliveroo rider with popular local landmarks and the Kuwaiti skyline, was printed on limited edition tote bags for customers to enjoy while celebrating the national holidays.
For every order placed between February 24-28, Deliveroo gave away the tote bags to the first 500 customers who ordered from Khairan during the national holidays.
We interviewed Abrar Zenkawi to find out exactly what inspires her art, and what her favorite meal to order on Deliveroo is!
What inspired the Deliveroo National Day illustration?
When Deliveroo first approached me to create the National Day illustration, I knew I wanted it to be something a little different. I set out to create something colorful, youthful and modern that showcases the Kuwait we know and love, while highlighting one of my favorite aspects of the city: our beautiful skyline.
How would you describe your artistic style?
I love happy, bright colors, and I love creating art that makes people feel good when they look at it! Art is basically like therapy to me, which is why I tend to go for brighter colors that give a sense of stress relief. In general, my artistic style is youthful, modern and fresh.
What inspires you on a day to day basis?
It honestly can be anything — I can get inspired by something as simple as a bee buzzing around me. In general, I love illustrating unique faces and things you don’t see every day. I like to think that my artistic style is unique in that when people come across one of my illustrations, they can tell that I’m the one that did it.
Recently I find myself very inspired by Roman mythology and statues. That’s part of the reason why I love traveling so much because it refreshes that sense of inspiration. I’m hoping we’ll all get to travel again soon!
What does National Day mean to you?
To be honest, I’m looking forward to a quieter National Day this time around! National Day is usually a super loud holiday and everyone takes to the street to celebrate.
My friends and I almost always stay in on National Day and barbecue, so I don’t actually think this year is going to be any different. It’s a happy day, and I’m hoping we’ll get to enjoy some fireworks!
What sets Deliveroo apart in your opinion?
Deliveroo has so many restaurants that you can’t find anywhere else. What makes the biggest difference for me is the fact that Five Guys is on there, because I order Five Guys a lot, and Deliveroo is the only platform that delivers my favorite burger! From an artistic standpoint, I also have to say that I love their colors — that teal is one of my favorite colors ever and I love seeing it around Kuwait.
What’s your favorite meal to order on Deliveroo?
We all know I love Five Guys! In case you’re wondering what to order next time you’re there, trust me on this one: a cheeseburger with mayo, ketchup, lettuce, pickles, onions, and tomatoes. Oh, and don’t forget the cajun fries, of course!
