Rosewood Abu Dhabi’s art collection
Throughout its history, Rosewood Hotels and Resorts has commissioned and collected art specific to each of its individual locations, in the process anchoring each property in its surroundings and demonstrating support for the community. Going beyond the intent of mere decoration, the art collection at Rosewood Abu Dhabi plays a fundamental role in shaping the identity of the hotel. Created by local, regional and international artists, the 280 pieces explore similar themes. Their commonalities include veils of pigments and layers of pure shimmering color, with designs emerging like waves of crystalline fabrics hovering across the canvas. The collection is a reflection of the natural environment and traditional designs of the region through an accumulation of impressions and rich interpretations.
Blending Eastern and Western contemporary works of art.
