Media One Hotel are proud to launch Art Exhibition ‘Our Abstract World’ by celebrated artist Nirina Ralanto

From Tuesday, 14 January, Nirina Ralanto will be launching her latest exhibition ‘Our Abstract World’ at Media One Hotel.  Nirina chooses abstract because she believes this is the best way to reach a universal level of communication and to share emotions between humans.  The exhibition runs from 14th January to 8th February.  

Nirina is half French, half Madagascan. She was inspired as a child, by witnessing her French grandfather painting. As a teenager, she kept practicing her craft in her mother’s framing store where she met a French painter who advised her about oil painting and acrylic.

Nirina wants her spontaneity and imagination to meet everyone’s sense of freedom to see, feel and interpret what is on the canvas.  Abstract has so many different ways to tell a story: obvious and evident, hidden and equivocal... Everything is true, as soon as the viewer listens to his inner voice. This exclusive exhibition consists of 23 pieces of unique original works

Her first exhibition was in San Diego and she has never stopped painting since. When she moved to Abu Dhabi, her creativity accelerated: as she has painted over 100 acrylic pieces the last three years, inspired by Arabic calligraphy and the futuristic architecture in the UAE.

In August 2013, she resigned as a professor in order to become a full time artist and citizen of the world: she’s also a writer, director, musician, singer and actress anywhere she lives.

Mark Lee, General Manager stated, “Media One Hotel regularly opens its doors to renowned locally based artists in a bid to make art more accessible, allowing the public access to the artists’ great works 24/7, so they have no need to feel shy about entering the world of art galleries. Nirina’s works first came to our attention at the Abu Dhabi Art Hub Gallery in 2013. Her signature style and complement the contemporary setting of our hotel”.

Media One’s lobby will host Nirina’s latest collection to encourage everyone to explore the abstract medium, and appreciate the work of this celebrated artist from Tuesday 13th January to Saturday 8th February.
