Rixos The Palm Dubai Hotel & Suites Partners with Art Factor UAE and BKR Events to Host Brushstroke Brilliance 2.0, an Emotive Two-Week International Art Exhibition

Championing cultural enrichment, Rixos The Palm Dubai Hotel & Suites is set to launch a two-week art exhibition, Brushstroke Brilliance 2.0, presented in collaboration with Art Factor UAE and BKR Events. Running from January 22nd onwards, the exhibition will transform the resort’s lobby into a refined gallery-style setting, featuring an inspiring collection of artworks by 14 professional artists from around the world. Thoughtfully displayed for close-up engagement, the exhibition celebrates the universal language of the brush, where diverse cultural perspectives meet masterful technique.

Set against the serene backdrop of Palm Jumeirah, Rixos The Palm Dubai Hotel & Suites is a hub of creativity and meaningful experiences beyond hospitality. By opening its doors to international and regional artists, the resort sees art, luxury, and community intersect, offering guests enriching encounters that spark dialogue, reflection, and inspiration.

Brushstroke Brilliance 2.0 builds on the success of its inaugural edition, returning with a stronger global focus and a carefully curated selection of works that highlight artistic excellence across styles and disciplines. Bringing together 14 distinct visual voices, the exhibition explores how art transcends borders, connecting people through shared emotion, texture, and storytelling. Featuring bold colour palettes alongside intricate craftsmanship, each piece contributes to a cohesive yet richly varied narrative of contemporary artistry.

The exhibition features evocative works such as “A Pause in Time” and “Home Is Where the Heart Is” by Jasmine Mohammed Rizvi, alongside Bindu Krishnan Roy’s expressive floral composition “When Life Blooms.” Spiritual and introspective themes continue through Varsha Saju Nair’s chakra-inspired series “The Subconscious Path,” while environmental harmony is explored in Dr. Anjini Prakash Laitu’s “Living in Green.” Celebrated Emirati artist Ahmed Al Awadhi (Rukni) presents a striking portrait with “Frida Kahlo,” honouring resilience and self-expression through bold colour and form.

Further enriching the exhibition, visitors can experience traditional craftsmanship through Rouhollah Safavi’s intricate woodwork, “The Polo Panel,” while abstract serenity unfolds in Shoma Banerjee’s “Inner Bloom.” Nostalgia and nature intertwine in Saranya Nagarajan’s gold-accented “Whispers of Paradise,” contrasted by the powerful symbolism of Christine Dessa’s “Graceful Landing.” Themes of spirituality and contemplation are reflected in Nayma Yasir’s “Al-Ahad” and Jyoti Singla’s “Blooming Silence,” each offering moments of calm introspection.

Completing the collection, architectural rhythm and urban energy emerge in Szilvia Viczian’s “Energy of the City,” while femininity and balance are explored through Celina Sarieddine’s “Rooted Grace.” The exhibition also features mixed media works “Gathering” and “Face of Unity” by Nikita Elsa Korah, offering a deeply personal exploration of identity and self-discovery. Together, the artworks form an intimate yet powerful journey through colour, texture, heritage, and contemporary expression.

The exhibition will officially open on January 22nd with a dedicated launch event, welcoming art enthusiasts and creatives to experience Brushstroke Brilliance 2.0 firsthand. The opening will provide an opportunity to engage with the artworks in a relaxed, gallery-style atmosphere within the resort’s lobby, showcasing the high-calibre art in an accessible and immersive environment.

Running for two weeks, Brushstroke Brilliance 2.0 is an opportunity to pause, explore, and connect with global artistry in a truly unique setting. During its run, the exhibition promises a memorable experience that extends beyond the canvas.
