Imagine going into an art gallery and seeing an entire wall dedicated to paintings of Haifa Wehbe?

Lebanese artist Charbel Halal painted the Lebanese superstar in all her glory, then invited her to attend the opening of his very special art exhibition this week.

And what do you know? Haifa halted the shooting of her upcoming TV series "Al Hirbayeh" in Egypt and flew out to Beirut for 24 hours to make Charbel's wish come true. 

Dozens of the sexy singer-turned-actress's fans lined up inside the gallery to get a glimpse of the star, while she studied each one of Charbel's flattering paintings.  

But the one painting that grabbed the celebrity's attention most was that of her as a "Bee": a filter she often uses when pictured on Snapchat.

Haifa loved the painting so much that she gave it a kiss, adding that "I don't want someone to gift it to me, I want to buy this painting."

Check out the paintings and Haifa's reaction in the Facebook Live video she posted below:
