Conrad Manila Sets Sail with "Balade": A Mesmerizing Voyage Through Stella Rojas' Europe

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Stella Rojas as Conrad Manila unveils its final art exhibit of 2024, "Balade." This enchanting collection, named after the French word for "to stroll," invites you on a breathtaking journey through the artist's European travels.

Stepping into Conrad Manila's Gallery C felt like stepping onto a Parisian street. Rojas' vibrant canvases transported me to charming Parisian alleys, bustling piazzas of Italy, and the serene landscapes of Ireland and beyond. Each piece pulsated with a distinct life, capturing not just the essence of these locations, but also the artist's unique perspective.

Rojas, a master storyteller with a brush, invites us to see life as an endless voyage of discovery. Her captivating portrayals, ranging from striking nudes and captivating flora to sweeping landscapes, encourage us to embrace the unfamiliar and embark on a personal journey of growth.

The true magic of "Balade" lies in the colors. While the themes are undeniably European, Rojas infuses her work with a distinctly Filipino flair. Bold, vibrant hues dance across the canvas, imbuing familiar scenes with an electrifying energy that resonates deeply with the Filipino spirit.

The exhibit launch was a night to remember. SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation President Elizabeth Sy, alongside the artist herself, Stella Rojas, graced the event with their presence. The air crackled with excitement as guests marveled at the breathtaking collection, culminating in the official ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Don't miss your chance to embark on this unforgettable voyage! "Balade" is open to the public from October 22nd, 2024, to January 4th, 2025, at Conrad Manila's Gallery C. Each piece is available for purchase, allowing you to bring a piece of Rojas' magic home with you.
