COYA, the immersive 360-degree lifestyle experience, is proud to announce its new collaboration with Belvedere Art Space, Dubai.
Enhancing the art and design pillar of COYA’s distinctive DNA, COYA Dubai and COYA Abu Dhabi will exhibit some of the gallery’s most enrapturing collections, with different artists highlighted every quarter. Guests at both venues will be able to admire and appreciate the artworks whilst they dine and relax within COYA’s lively signature ambiance, and also purchase any of the pieces directly through Belvedere Art Space.
Located in DIFC, in the heart of Dubai, Belvedere Art Space is a contemporary art gallery that represents both emerging and established artists from across the globe. Its diverse collection spans an array of different mediums and memorable talents, and it remains committed to empowering and nurturing the MENA’s prospering art scene. Founded by interior designers and art consultants Aal Chammaa and Nour Jarmakani, the original Belvedere Art Space was launched in Beirut, Lebanon, in 2018, before the brand expanded to open Belvedere Art Space Dubai in 2021.
COYA Dubai has begun the innovative collaboration by unveiling a thought-provoking exhibition by Christopher Florentino, aka Flore. Passionate about pop art and street art, Flore’s four paintings at COYA Dubai aim to strip away all the filters and stereotypes that society inflicts on our lives. By using layers and the written word, the American artist encourages viewers to look a little closer and uncover the true meaning to each piece.
COYA Abu Dhabi is kicking off the partnership with a collection by Lebanese artist Ryan Eid. Young, talented and passionate, his diverse and experimental art works reflect the darker aspects of childhood imagination. Filled with spray-painted colourful monsters made from industrial metals, he cleverly conveys that even children’s anxieties and fears are linked to their innocence and boundless ability to love.
Yannis Stanisiere, Chief Operating Officer of COYA Restaurant & Pisco Bar, says: “Our exciting new collaboration with Belvedere Art Space perfectly reflects COYA’s commitment to supporting international artists, and the prominent art pillar of our unique DNA. This year-long collaboration will see us display a new artist on our walls every quarter, and we hope it will further strengthen and uplift the region’s growing art and design scene. We want to thank Belvedere Art Gallery for partnering with us on this exciting idea, and letting us display some of their most prized collections on the walls of COYA Dubai and COYA Abu Dhabi.”
Aal Chammaa, Co-founder of Belvedere Art Space, said: “We are thrilled to partner with COYA, the creative and vibrant Peruvian lifestyle brand, on this innovative new collaboration. Thanks to COYA, our artists will be able to display their works in front of a whole new audience, and bring their talents even further onto the world stage. COYA shares our passion for supporting both established artists and new talents, and we couldn’t have asked for two more beautiful places to display our collections.”
