We’ve got some seriously good news. The jaw-dropping, brain-bending art exhibition by none other than Marcos Marín has officially been extended until April 30th at ME by Meliá Dubai. So if you missed it in March, congratulations—you’ve got a second chance at optical greatness.
Let’s talk about Marín for a second. This guy isn’t just playing with paint. Oh no, he’s out here bending light, flirting with movement, and turning your perception into a fun little guessing game. His style? Think optical art meets architecture meets that moment you realized the portrait was looking back at you. Yeah, it’s a vibe.
With over 60 pieces on display, this isn’t just a stroll through some gallery room. It’s a full-on visual rollercoaster. Marín takes icons—some faces you’ll definitely recognize—and gives them a kinetic twist that makes you do a double take. Then a triple. Then probably pull out your phone for the ‘gram because, well, how could you not?
And the setting? Let’s just say this isn’t your average white-wall situation. The ME by Meliá Dubai is the only hotel entirely designed by the legendary Zaha Hadid, which basically means it’s already a work of art. Add Marín’s hypnotic pieces into the mix, and you’ve got a match made in architectural heaven. It’s like walking into a sculpture that decided to throw an art party.
Every corner of this exhibit invites you to look again, look closer, or maybe just tilt your head dramatically like you know what you’re doing (no judgment—we all do it). Depending on where you stand, the art literally changes, giving each visitor a unique experience. It’s like one of those mood rings from the early 2000s—except way cooler, and with fewer questionable fashion choices.
Whether you’re an art aficionado, someone who pretends to be one, or just in it for the cool selfies (we see you), this is one experience you don’t want to miss.
So, grab a friend, a curious mind, and maybe a pair of sunglasses (for the drama, of course) and head to ME Dubai before April 30th. Trust us—your eyes (and your Instagram feed) will thank you.
