The city's vibrant art scene has been graced by a profound and luminous new presence. "Love Achievements", a comprehensive retrospective of the Monegasque artist Faben, has opened its doors, offering a captivating journey through twenty years of creative evolution. More than a simple exhibition, this event establishes a heartfelt dialogue on unity and human connection, solidifying Faben's reputation as the "Ambassador of Love."

Running until January 1, 2026, at the ME Dubai Hotel, this inaugural UAE solo project invites visitors to explore a world where emotion and artistry intertwine.

A Curated Convergence of Art and Influence

Spearheading this ambitious project was HP Consulting, an international firm renowned for crafting exclusive experiences. Under the guidance of founders Hanna Patapovitch and Alexandra Podgorodetskaya, the company curated an event that seamlessly merged the spheres of high art, business, and luxury culture. Their vision transformed the gallery into a nexus for inspired conversation and creative discovery.

Two Decades of Creative Heartbeats

Faben, who also goes by the moniker HeARTIST, has poured a lifetime of reflection into this collection. The works on display, handpicked from his private studio in a historically rich region of southern France, are a testament to an enduring artistic philosophy. The exhibition maps his entire trajectory, from the raw, expressive energy of his early street murals to the refined complexity of his current paintings, sculptures, and digital pieces.

Each artwork serves as a chapter in a larger narrative, exploring universal themes with a deeply personal touch. This retrospective is not merely a display of skill, but an intimate invitation to walk alongside the artist on his two-decade-long exploration of what it means to love and be human.

Living with a Masterpiece: The Art of Integration

A defining feature of "Achievements of Love" is its emphasis on the seamless integration of art into the fabric of daily life. Faben’s creations are presented as dynamic elements capable of transforming any space they inhabit.

• His paintings act as windows to new emotional landscapes, capable of energizing a corporate office, soothing a bedroom, or igniting conversation in a living room.
• The sculptures, which vary dramatically in scale, offer immense versatility. More modest pieces can serve as elegant accents on a shelf or desk, while monumental installations command attention in hotel atriums, public squares, or garden terraces, engaging with both intimate and expansive environments.
• The digital installations provide a pulse of modern energy, ideal for contemporary lobbies or interactive galleries, where they create an ever-evolving atmospheric experience.

For those moved by a particular piece, the opportunity exists not only to acquire existing works but to commission unique creations. This act of patronage allows collectors to weave their own story into Faben’s ongoing mission. The artist beautifully encapsulates this synergy: “With every piece that finds a home, the story painted on my canvas begins a new chapter.”

An Opening Night That Captivated the Senses

The exhibition’s launch was an artistic event in its own right, transcending a typical gallery opening. The highlight was a breathtaking live performance, also titled "Achievements of Love," where Faben fused spontaneous painting, graceful calligraphy, and innovative technology. The performance reached its climax with the debut of a luminous hologram, offering a glimpse into the future of artistic expression.

The air was filled with curated sounds from DJs Sofia Meyer and German Shmidt, whose mixes provided an rhythmic undercurrent to the evening. Guests indulged in gourmet offerings from Goose Catering amidst an ambiance perfumed with bespoke fragrances, making for a truly multisensory celebration. The event embodied Faben’s forward-looking declaration: “We are Dubai, we are the future!”

A Tapestry of Support

The exhibition's sponsors and partners, who are equally dedicated to quality and innovation, contributed to its success. LAK3, a business whose combination of water and technology speaks to the fluid, life-giving nature of Faben's themes, spearheaded the support. The co-founder of LAK3, Clément Milliat, received special attention for his steadfast belief in the unifying power of art.

The event was further elevated by collaborations with:

• Master perfumer Frédéric Ganneval of Histoire de Province.
• Zarina Zhilyaeva of El’Cosmo Clinic, a leader in aesthetic wellness.
• Karim Moubarik of Maison Lianozoff, purveyor of exquisite Iranian caviar.
• World Arabia Magazine for their media support.
