About
Djinane AlSuwayeh is a Kuwaiti-French internationally published Creative Director, award-winning Photographer, Visual Artist, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, and a part of the global SE® community as an approved SE® training assistant and personal session provider. Her work weaves together the worlds of visual arts, somatic healing, and embodied education.
With an extensive background and experience in creative direction, the former founder of iiiangle creative (an image-making full-service production studio based in Kuwait) saw her shaping brand identities like Odict Perfumes and Charah Studio, leading high-profile campaigns for Chanel and Dior, being published and featured in Vogue Magazine, photographing global icons like Gigi Hadid, Alber Elbaz, and Elie Saab, as well as exhibiting her fine art work in major museums like the Los Angeles County Museum, in California and being auctioned by Pierre Bergé & Associés at the Institut Du Monde Arabe in Paris, France.
Her deep fascination with the expressive body, life, art and transformation led her into the world of somatic healing. Now as an artist-practitioner she facilitates deeper self-connection through movement, imagery, and body-centered approaches. Her work is currently focused on working with the body as a living process of awareness, repair, and reconnection.
Her latest venture is a sanctuary for artistic exploration and embodiment. It began as an informal space of refuge, a circle for colleagues seeking solace from the high pressures of the luxury fashion world. And what started as a gathering evolved into the CercleMethod™, a philosophy, and a home for all bodies to reconnect to their innate intelligence and the wisdom of the somatic self.
““I spent two decades transforming ideas into images, and inner experiences into expression. What connects both my artist-practitioner paths is being a participant in the creative process in order to give a form to what’s unseen. My background as a visual artist and my experience in photography, dance, and movement practices give me a fluency in non-verbal communication and embodied intelligence. This skill informs how I relate to people and that allows me to create relational moments whether on the canvas, in the body, or in the heart.””
