The Artistic Journey of Ouisam: Celebrating Fatherhood

The art pieces featured in the exhibition will be the work of Ouisam (Wissam Melhem), a talented painter and sculptor. His illustrious career, which has seen him working in architecture and landscape design, is marked by a deep exploration of various themes. His most recent work was featured in several exhibitions, including the “Interweaving” solo exhibition in Spain, the “Remember August 4th” collective exhibition in Washington DC, and the “22nd International ART Exchange Exhibition” in Tokyo. One of his works was also selected to be exhibited in the permanent collection of the Peoria Riverfront Museum in the U.S.During this month-long exhibition, the lobby will transform into an engaging space, taking you on a journey of introspection and contemplation. As you step inside the hotel, you are greeted by a symphony of sounds and sights that evoke a sense of interconnectedness. Upon reaching the exhibition area, an array of artworks will unfold, which are thoughtfully curated by Dr. Tony Karam, an obstetrician and gynaecological surgeon with a passion for art who has been promoting artists and helping them showcase their masterworks in multiple exhibitions. The artworks portray the different aspects of fatherhood, symbolising the nurturing and protective qualities of a father's love, and hinting at the complexities and challenges inherent in the fatherhood dynamic.Nestled at the heart of the exhibition is a series of interconnected paintings stretching across two 10-metre canvases that gracefully capture the essence of fatherhood. These paintings evoke memories of paternal guidance and spark dialogue about the impact of fathers in our lives. The journey then concludes with a 6-metre-high sculpture, symbolising the interrelatedness of human experiences and allowing you to reflect on your relationships and connections. Whether seeking to embrace the true essence of fatherhood or explore new forms of artistic expression, this exhibition will inspire curiosity and spark meaningful conversations. Blending luxury with innovation, Rixos Premium Dubai continually pushes the boundaries of hospitality excellence, focusing on enhancing guests’ experience in every aspect. As Father’s Day is nearly upon us, the hotel warmly invites you to embark on a sensory journey where fatherhood is celebrated, and creativity knows no bounds.
