CONFERENCE ROOMS
I have created long art compositions for the walls of the hotel’s conference rooms which, although not displayed in their entirety due to the architectural barriers present in the rooms, provide an eclectic atmosphere full of surrealism and multiculturalism bathed in colourful and intricate visually charged compositions.
These pieces take the hotel’s global concept of the mixture of cultures to the connection of a visual journey through an invisible timeline through which the different iconic elements that interrelate in the chaotic intercultural melting pot that gives shape to the graphic composition transit and transform.
ART FOR WASABI ROOM
The extensive composition for the Wasabi conference room expresses the concept of the melting pot through the prism of a visual journey of transformation: series of iconic elements referencing Japanese, African and Mexican cultures are interwoven through a long timeline that is structured along transformations and transitions between graphic elements.
To create the visual structure of the transformations I was inspired by the legendary artist M. C. Escher. Although my work retains his uniqueness and unique creativity, I have incorporated the essence of Escher’s characteristic transitions between elements as inspiration when combining the elements of each scene.
ARTE PARA SALA VANILLA
The art for the Vanilla conference room blends Japanese and Mexican cultures through an intricate melting pot of floral elements punctuated with cultural icons.
The creativity of this piece connects visually with the art located in the hotel’s Cocktail Bar. The structure of this composition is structured with three levels of prominence:
On the first level are large Mexican catrinas transformed with floral designs.
On the second level a melting pot of iconic elements from the three cultures ‘floats’ among the catrinas.
On the third level an ocean of flowers serves as a visual bed in which background elements float.
