Etihad Modern Art Gallery in Abu Dhabi is showcasing the iconic collections of Bellissimo – the Italian Jewelry consortium that create some of the world's most prestigious pieces from July 12, 2015 as part of “Art Souq 2015”. Bellissimo's Jewelry was established in Italy in 1861 and is known for their outstanding high-quality precious stones, corals and pearl designs. Today, at the Art Souq 2015 in Abu Dhabi, they are showcasing an innovative concept that represents a blend between nature-inspired paintings and world-class stunning hand-made jewelry designs. Art and jewelry aficionados will be delighted to see the harmonious transformation of a painting into remarkable high-quality jewelry designs. “I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw the pieces. Looking at Bellissimo's jewelry, I had the same feeling that I had when I looked at the colors and forms in the paintings. Imagine looking at a piece of jewelry that has a tint of orange but feeling that you are at that moment watching the sun set on one of Abu Dhabi's beaches,” said Yara Zhulina, Manager of Glory Art Gallery. Bellissimo's collections will continue to be showcased at Art Souq 2015 until the end of Ramadan. Visitors to Art Souq 2015 will get the opportunity to collect various art pieces at affordable prices. The pieces on display are created by artists who are either residents or affiliated to Etihad Modern Art Gallery. Bellissimo will not only surprise visitors by showcasing their remarkable pieces that blend art paintings and jewelry design but also by inviting the Italian jewelers who created these spectacular artistic pieces to be part of the event. During the event, they will discuss with visitors the creation of their masterpieces and how Bellissimo transformed the paintings into innovative designs. Speaking about Art Souq 2015 and Bellissimo's participation, Khaled Seddiq Al Mutawaa, the founder of Etihad Modern Art Gallery said: “Bellissimo's participation with their new innovative concept is considered a qualitative addition to Art Souq 2015. It is a great opportunity for the public to start building or adding to their art collections.” Art Souq 2015 features a host of affordable sculptures in stone and bronze by many artists. For instance on display will be renowned Bulgarian sculptor Svilen Petrov’s sleek, ornamental figures, as well as mosaic. To mark the Holy Month of Ramadan, the aesthetics of Arabic calligraphy and the culture of the UAE will be explored by the textual murals of Suhaila Abdulkareem, the mosaics of Hakem Al Taher, and the narrative symbolic art of Khaled Al Najjad and Yiannis Roussakis.
