Where contemporary art meets the rhythm of the resort. A curated exhibition bringing together painters and sculptors from around the world, each offering a distinct perspective, material language, and point of view. Discover artworks that invite pause, provoke curiosity, and reward a closer look.

ART THAT LIVES IN THE MOMENT

Artist Playground transforms shared spaces into places of cultural exchange. This edition brings together a group of contemporary artists whose practices move between portraiture, abstraction, sculpture, and material experimentation. From expressive oil paintings to carved stone and reimagined metal, each artwork contributes to a layered dialogue between form and emotion, tradition and now. Curated in collaboration with Cameo Art Gallery, the exhibition is presented as part of Pullman’s ongoing commitment to shaping culture through creative collaboration.
