Abu Dhabi’s art scene continues to grow, offering residents and visitors more opportunities to engage with creative works. The Bassam Freiha Art Foundation has introduced two new exhibitions featuring the work of Italian artist Stefano Simontacchi. These exhibitions, running until August 31 on Saadiyat Island, explore themes of perception, energy, and human connection.
What’s New on Display at Bassam Freiha Art Foundation?
The first exhibition, Project Oneness, takes visitors through three interconnected rooms. The journey begins with an exploration of duality and humanity’s connection to the universe. Moving forward, light, movement, and color create an immersive experience, leading to a final room where natural elements like water, earth, air, and fire symbolize unity and balance.
