Seascape artist Nina Brooke returns to InterContinental Maldives

Following Brooke’s successful inaugural visit to InterContinental Maldives in 2023, she is back by popular demand and will be on island from 28th December 2024 to 9th January 2025 capturing the beauty of Raa Atoll, situated the edge of a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, from a bird’s eye perspective. This two-week residency will include laid-back art classes for guests, individual commissions from the most beautiful locations on the resort and a carefully curated exhibition of Brooke’s Maldivian seascapes – giving guests the opportunity to take home a unique piece of the island.

InterContinental Maldives is delighted to once again welcome Brooke to the resort, which aims to capture the island’s infinite ocean views, treasured marine life and surrounding nature from the air and ground.

Art Classes

For guests looking to explore their creative side, Brooke will be offering five art classes when on resort. Providing expert advice, techniques and inspiration, Brooke’s classes are available for adults and children of all abilities and will encourage guests to slow down and appreciate the beauty of their natural surroundings. 

Exhibition

Spending two weeks on resort, Brooke will be capturing the island and creating art inspired by the magic of Maamunagau Island. Aerial views and shorelines will be painted from around the resort and at the end of the residency, a pop-up exhibition will be installed for guests to enjoy and make purchases if they wish – giving them the opportunity to take a part of the resort home. 

Art for Charity

Leaving behind a one-of-a-kind piece, Brooke will be creating a dedicated painting for the Manta Trust. The artwork will be sold in the resort boutique while the returns will be donated to the charity which is dedicated to the sustainable future of manta rays and their relatives. InterContinental Maldives is home to a large population of manta rays year-round, and dedicated researchers at the resort spend time educating guests and studying these fascinating marine animals.
