The most famous Hayek is known for its original art pieces, combining furniture, sculpture, and artistic compositions, executed in a unique style that provokes deep reflections on the spaces they occupy.
The "Dubai Cabinet" was developed as a standard furniture unit, suitable for guest or dining rooms, made of oxidized aluminum and featuring internal parts made of fine Greek walnut, based on volcanic rocks and decorative mosaic insets.
The design of the "Dubai Cabinet" embodies an artistic harmony between the Mexican origins of Samy Hayek and the spirit of Dubai, representing an exquisite artistic synthesis that reflects both cultures in a single piece.
It is inspired by a regenerated energy, a living world of diverse cultural scenery, and a developed ecosystem that characterizes the Emirate of Dubai. The creator compares Dubai's coral reefs with the habitats of hummingbird species, vibrant and enchanting, with the idea of the cabinet arising from the movement of these birds, magically blending their wings with bright flowers.
Between November 4 and 14, Christie's will host the exhibition "Frequencies" of the multifaceted Mexican artist Samy Hayek, representing his work for the first time in this region during Dubai Design Week 2024.
His work is distinguished by an exquisite selection of materials, creating a harmonious unity and a unique sensory interaction between the object and the space.
The exhibition "Frequencies" explores the idea of how objects retain their memories and emit them, reflecting their influence on those with whom they interact, establishing a deep connection between the observer and the surrounding environment.
They first presented the exhibition "Frequencies" at Christie's Los Angeles in 2023, where it received significant success and attracted considerable interest, with growing demand for exhibitions in other international locations.
Unique stained glass insets focus on the master artisans from small Mexican communities, known for their mastery in embroidery with beads.
The "Dubai Cabinet" is inspired by a regenerated energy, a life-giving, vibrant energy, a diverse cultural scene in the emirate. The design of the cabinet doors reflects an elegant angle, mirroring the enchanting movement of hummingbird wings in a flight filled with captivating grace.
The exhibition in Dubai will showcase more than 20 unique artistic pieces, representing Samy's creativity in the UAE, demonstrating his unique artistic achievements and style to a new audience.
They created their artistic workshop "Dubai Cabinet," inspired by their experience during their recent visit to Dubai.
