Three Britto works, from lobby to Penrose Lounge

According to the Four Seasons press release of 11 November 2026, the hotel is presenting three original canvases from the series Romero Britto has devoted to Dubai.

It is part of CLAREIRA, presented with The Coolrator. The works are spread across two open spaces in the hotel, the lobby and the Penrose Lounge, its lounge bar. The hotel has not released any photos of the three canvases: the images in this article show the artist and the venues.

A horse, a boat and a falcon, all for sale

The first canvas, Spirit of the Oasis, shows a horse amid an oasis of palm trees and flowers. The second, Dubai Sunset, sends a boat gliding past the city skyline at sunset.

The third, Eye of the Falcon, is a portrait of a falcon, a tribute to falconry, the art of hunting with a bird of prey. All three works are for sale; the press release does not give their prices.

Romero Britto, shown in over 120 countries
