An Artist Is Turning The Atlantis Ballroom Into The Largest Painting Ever Created By One Person
Dubai-based contemporary British artist Sacha Jafri has isolated himself in Dubai’s Atlantis, The Palm for the past few weeks. Now, one would think it’s because of the pandemic, BUT it’s not just that. He is there to create the single largest painting EVER created by one artist alone.
The painting called “Humanity Inspired” created around the themes of isolation and connection is aimed to raise USD $25 million which will be achieved through a live charity auction at Atlantis, The Palm. The canvas will be divided into 60 individually framed, named, numbered, signed and catalogued individual pieces.
The money raised will provide vital funding for the continual uninterrupted education of those most affected by COVID-19 and to initiate up to 5000 life-saving education and medical hubs
