Madeleine endeavours to promote rich Omani culture in Europe

Muscat, The Gulf Observer: Madeleine ImKey’s connection with Oman is profound; having partially lived here and experienced the early stages of motherhood in the country, she developed a deep affinity for its people and culture.

As a delegate representing both Switzerland, her current residence, and the GCC for the esteemed Academic Society of Arts-Sciences-Lettres, her return to Oman carries a significant mission: To empower Omani artists and facilitate their global recognition through this prestigious institution established in Paris in 1915.

The Academic Society of Arts-Sciences-Lettres stands as a beacon of recognition for contributions in Arts, Sciences, and Literature that enrich humanity.

It has delegates in 22 countries, who help establish international cultural exchanges.

Madeleine’s pivotal role within this institution extends to identifying and supporting artists, scientists, writers, and other cultural influencers, offering them a platform for global acknowledgment. As the exclusive delegate for the GCC and Switzerland, her mission surpasses mere representation; she actively bridges cultural treasures, fostering a dialogue that honours Oman’s unique cultural expressions while integrating them into the global landscape.

Her understanding and appreciation of Oman’s multicultural history resonate with her sentiments towards Switzerland, her home country. Madeleine identifies shared traits between these nations – warmth, hospitality, multicultural dimensions shaping identities, and an embrace of traditions alongside an openness to the world.

Madeleine’s passion for Oman doesn’t solely stem from personal experiences but also from acknowledging the alignment between Omani artistry, scientific pursuits, literary contributions, and the values she upholds.

Much like the academy, Madeleine perceives art and culture as a universal language that transcends boundaries. She firmly believes in art’s profound ability to unify and connect diverse cultures. To her, art serves as a spiritual force uniting humanity, transcending constraints, and resonating with our core essence.

Moreover, she perceives an intrinsic link between science and spirituality, likening them to the two wings of a bird. To her, the most profound discoveries emerge when these two dimensions collaborate closely. Their synergy brings forth unparalleled richness and depth, illuminating our understanding of the world. Madeleine sees our existence as spiritual beings navigating an earthly experience, where the fusion of science and spirituality expands our comprehension of life’s intricacies and our place within it.

Madeleine’s mission in Oman blends her deep affection for the country with her commitment to nurturing talents in the realms of art, science, and literature. By advocating global recognition for Omani artists, scientists, and writers, she endeavors to showcase Oman’s cultural richness and brilliance on the world stage.
