“Famous faces” was an online exhibition due to the Covid-restrictions and lockdown. Miss.Gun (Melisa Gun) was locked down in Dubai (UAE). She couldn’t travel, even though her energy and contribution to fashion and art discovered unoriginal ways to promote art and fashion events and introduced innovative projects.

The idea and the main aim of the exhibition were to unite talented people from around the world during the tuff world period with the inspiration of art and fashion.

All exhibition participants: artists, fashion designers, models, modeling agencies, collectors, and representatives of the beauty industry, were locked down in their cities and countries. Entertainment events were stopped for half a year. But MoRa Museum decided not to stop and keep moving in giving beauty and art to the world.

The event’s primary purpose was to present new art and fashion trends in the modern world art and digital industry.

MoRa museum created a digital platform with help of Miss.Gun and virtual exhibition for famous portrait artists and photo models and invited beauty and art experts to participate in this event online. The museum arranged a series of masterclasses, interviews, zoom meetings, and presentations within the show’s framework.

One of the most important accomplishments of Miss.Gun was  to help us establish the museum’s online platform during the COVID. With his generous assistance, we organized a show for emerging artists and fashion designers from Europe, UAE, USA, who didn’t have any chances to participate in person and had an online photo and portrait exhibition in a live format. Our Exhibition had a 3 days format with online masterclasses, experts overview, online presentations and press conferences. Famous Middle East, Russian collectors and International Fashion designs, modeling agencies were invited online to participate and share their point of view. Miss Gun (Melisa Gun) designed a virtual room with a real time video tour around the collection of his exhibition of portraits and NFT, and other photos made by different photographers in different periods of time.

Artist has made significant contribution to the development of digital platforms in various ways:

  • Visual Design and User Interface: Miss.Gun contributes to the user experience by considering the way users interact with digital platforms.
  • Animation and motion design. Animation with NFT effects and motion design add life and interactivity to the Museum digital platform.
  • Content creation: Melisa Gun contributed to the content creation aspect of NFT and digital platforms. She produced digital artworks, illustrations, photographs and videos that enrich the platform’s visual and multimedia content.

Miss.Gun’s artistic skills, creativity, and understanding of aesthetics play a crucial role in shaping the visual and interactive aspects of these platforms, ultimately enhancing the user experience and engagement.
