At Jumeirah Capri Palace, culture is not a static display, but a living, breathing experience – one that evolves each year through a renewed artistic narrative rooted in authenticity, depth, and discovery.

Since 2021, Jumeirah has brought this vision to life through a close collaboration with the internationally acclaimed Galleria Continua. The partnership began with a landmark exhibition at Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, featuring celebrated artists such as Anish Kapoor, Daniel Buren, and Michelangelo Pistoletto. Since then, it has continued to flourish, offering guests a vibrant and ever-changing lens through which to experience the world.

This seasons limited time exhibition at Jumeirah Capri Palace, 'Colore Luce', explores the powerful relationship between colour and light. A dialogue that transcends aesthetics and invites a deeper, sensory encounter. Light reveals, defines, and animates; colour expresses, filters, and transforms. Together, they create a nuanced dialogue that transcends the visual, inviting reflection on the nature of reality, the fluidity of perspective, and the poetry of change. Each hue evokes new emotion; each shift in light opens new meaning - inviting guests into a kaleidoscopic reading of the same world.

Through this lens, a curated selection of works from internationally acclaimed artists brings “Colore Luce” to life, including pieces by Michelangelo Pistoletto, Loris Cecchini, Nari Ward, Pascale Marthine Tayou, and Giovanni Ozzola.

Ozzola presents site-specific installations created exclusively for Jumeirah Capri Palace, greeting guests along the entrance walkway with imagery that blurs the line between public art and private reflection. His photographs examine the enduring bond between humanity and the landscape, where abandoned architecture and the changing colours of the sky converge in compositions that speak of contrast, memory, and the infinite.

Michelangelo Pistoletto explores the theme with his mirror works “Colour and Light” (2014; 2017), where reflection becomes rupture. The mirror is no longer a passive surface but an instrument of philosophical inquiry. Fragmented and refracted, light becomes a metaphor for ambiguity and multiplicity, asking the viewer not to see the world as it is, but as a mystery to be pieced together.

In “Aeolian Landforms (Kalagonoy, 2025)”, Loris Cecchini fuses science with poetics. His works traces the motion of the wind across desert terrain, pulsating with light and shadow. Melding natural phenomena with technological precision, Cecchini invites the viewer to peer beneath the surface, where form and feeling coexist in quiet choreography, resulting in a brilliant yellow.

The vibrant colour that we can admire in Cecchini's artwork is re-proposed in Pascale Marthine Tayou's artistic products. Using recycled and reclaimed materials, his pieces “Golden Chalks B” and “Colorful Stones” revive archetypal symbols through contemporary language. Here, colour is memory, matter, and meaning - fragments of an idealised world charged with allegory into a visual language of hope and hybridity.

Nari Ward’s copper sculptures: “Still Livin; Endless” and “Still Livin; Faithful” (2024) blend the spiritual and the quotidian. These contemporary still lifes act as quiet alters to a multicultural experience where oxidised surfaces absorb not only light but the imprint of lived emotion, ritual, and resilience.

Together, the artists in 'Colore Luce' offer diverse yet interconnected perspectives on how we perceive, interpret, and inhabit the world , inviting guests to discover beauty not just on the walls, but in the shifting light of their own perception.
