ART TAKES OVER LA MARINA SHOPPING CENTRE WITH THE EXHIBITION OF NEUS SAIZ

Last Friday, 25th February, the Neus Saiz exhibition took place at La Marina Shopping Centre. An afternoon of art where visitors enjoyed with their five senses.

On the afternoon of 25 February, visitors were able to admire the work, talk to the author, taste Marcos Tonda chocolates and cava, all accompanied by the beautiful live voice of Marinetti. Furthermore, the event had a significant impact on social media, thanks to the organisation of the CC La Marina, the marketing agency Why Media and the radio station Nexa FM.

During the event, there were many visits from art lovers who came expressly to see the work and from clients of the CC La Marina who, attracted by the music and the atmosphere, were intrigued to enter the exhibition and admire the work.

Neus Saiz, a self-taught painter from a very young age, who has just exhibited at the Benidorm Youth and Creators Competition last week, presented more than 30 works to the public and addressed them and explained her style (abstract/tribal) and her technique. Both through the microphone and individually, he could explain his way of working, his feelings when painting and the reason for his work, managing to create a close atmosphere which made the event a very entertaining and playful afternoon for the visitors and organisers. 

About the music, the singer Marinetti set the mood for the occasion with her beautiful voice. In her characteristic style of independent music, the singer-songwriter performed her repertoire of her songs and covers in English and Spanish, bringing the exhibition to life.

To spice up the afternoon, Chocolates Marcos Tonda  organised a small tasting of its products together with Bodegas Bocopa cavas, which of course, was a great success among the attendees.

In order to support and give visibility to regional art, La Marina has ceded the space as well as helped in the diffusion and organisation of the event last Friday. This is one of the many art-focused initiatives we have planned for 2022.
As for the organisation of the event, the help of "Casa" and "A flor de" was crucial. The home decoration shop Casa Finestrat took care of the tables used for the reception of the visitors and the tastings and the special radio programme. As for “A flor de” , they were in charge of giving even more colour to the exhibition, setting the room with spectacular natural centrepieces.

Special Nexa FM programme

Throughout the week, the Neus Saiz exhibition will be on display on the ground floor of the Shopping Centre (next to Oteros and opposite Don Dino) with free admission.

Neus Saiz, about the exhibition: "First of all, I want to emphasise that the venue is ideal for the exhibition and I am grateful to CC La Marina, Why Media and Nexa FM who have supported me and made it possible. On Friday, I had expectations far exceeded; I noticed a lot of support from people who admire art and cultural events, thanks to Marinetti, who was singing and associating songs to some of the paintings, which made the experience more enjoyable multisensory. So I can only say that I am super proud and satisfied with how everything went on Friday! And always thanking both those who helped to make it possible and all the attendees and interested people".

Josan Piqueres, one of the presenters of the special Art in La Marina: "From Nexa we want to thank all the people and entities that have made this event possible, from Neus, through the Shopping Centre and of course the friends of Casa, to Flor de... La Boutique and Marcos Tonda and in a special way to all the people who passed by. In Nexa you will always find a place to meet and add up".

Santiago Ramírez, marketing manager of Why Media: "For both La Marina and Why Media, it is a great joy to collaborate and have local artists of the quality of Neus and Marinetti present at the Centre. The organisation of this event was a great team effort, and the result was a great success. We hope to have more events of this kind in the near future and to continue promoting the region's art and culture".
